Krav Maga- Cross fit
Hello- I have been LC (paleo) since Jan 4th 2010. I have lost 36lbs total since then, well actually since about 2 1/2 months ago and have been stuck since then.
I run , or have run 2-3x's a week 3-5 miles as my only means of exercise. My weight has fluctuated 2-5lbs.
I want to get down to my target of 200 and even pass to 180 if I can- so I decided to change things up.
I joined Krav Maga- which is a martial Art and also their version of cross fit (Krav Fit) I did three classes this week (only 1 krav fit) and besides being sore from my thighs up- and I mean sore! I actually gained a few pounds.
Now I know it is only the first week- but jeesh. I have been LC since Jan 4. During the week I am not getting no where near as many calories as I "Should" be getting and I am still not loosing. What the heck is going on here?
I wish it were- loosing fat gaining muscle, but I would have to be a freak of nature to put on that much muscle while doing very little weight training.
I try not go by scale weight- I try to go by body composition- but it is hard- because some days I feel like I look leaner and other days I feel like I look fatter-
I just wonder if there is something more wrong with me than JUST insulin resistance....This sucks, if any "normal" person ate what I did and exercised like I do they would look like a greek god. Come on!
The only thing I can do is to continue to move forward though, I can't go back to the old way of eating because I will get up to 300+ lbs in no time.
Anyone else been there?
