Big Fat Skinny Girl

I'm (optimistically) attributing today's pound to gaining muscle. I've been doing a lot of crossfit this week and I do feel stronger in the arms and thighs. Everyone tells me that gaining muscle is a good thing because muscle burns more calories and will eventually make you leaner. Unfortunately for me, this doesn't seem to be the case. When I gain muscle it just pushes my fat outward.

I try to mix up my exercise so that it's not all strength training. My current plan is to mix up crossfit, hot yoga, soccer and running to get the right balance of strength and cardio. That balance seems to be difficult to find, however.

Luckily for me I now have a workout partner. Meet Oscar. Oscar is a havanese dog with a slight weight problem. His doctor says he needs to shed a few pounds. This week we're going to start training for the Furry 5k by running two 5k's a week between now and the race.
