It's been two weeks (give or take) since I've joined the YMCA, and already I feel better. And Mermaid is loving having access to a pool. And my back feels better. And I can feel my arms getting stronger, along with muscles I haven't felt in a looong time.  Haven't lost any weight, though, but the reason for that is, I've been pigging out, probably because my muscles are working, and my body hasn't had this much exercise in ages.

That might even out after a while.

You're also exchanging fat for muscle, which weighs more. Note how your clothes fit.

But hell, I've put on 7 pounds and my clothes are getting tighter, but I'm still happy with it because I feel so much better in every other way. (I've always expanded from exercise rather than shrunk - my body is clinically insane.)
