Does Anyone Else Gain Weight... From Exercise?! via LaurieJStone
A few years ago I joined a Zumba class. Three times a week, I strode into that studio, dancing and sweating profusely to J. Lo’s “Get on the Floor” and Ricky Martin’s “La Vida Loca.” I couldn’t wait till I could buy my ‘skinny clothes’ again.Instead of my pants getting looser, they got tighter. I’d look at the scale in despair as the needle edged up. WTH? I thought I was doing everything right. Instead, the opposite was happening.I also noticed another strange phenomenon.
Which makes me wonder…is it all individual? Is there no such a thing as a one-size-fits-all fitness plan? I began a power walking regime, about 20-30 minutes daily. Before I knew it, the scale started going up again. I started obsessing over fudge ripple ice cream and chocolate chip brownies. The appetite was revving. I gave up the daily regime. The weight came down.I still do gentle yoga each morning. I love the way it makes me feel both empowered and serene. I also still walk. The difference is I walk everyday but for less time. usually after lunch or dinner.
