I’ve been picking up the triathlon training over the last 5 or 6 weeks. You may remember that I was getting very bored, so starting running again seemed like a good idea. My various injuries seem to be staying down so far, and running is good. Swimming and cycling have been picking up too, and it feels really good to be able to do what I used to do.
Anyhoo, my daily calorie burn has increased by 400-500 calories a day on average, and my eating habits have changed so I’m taking in fewer calories. Naturally this meant that I dropped 4kg in a few weeks, but now my weight has leveled off, and I even put 0.5kg back on this week. Of course I’m still burning fat, and this weight increase is caused by an increase in muscle mass (muscle weighs more than fat for volume), but it’s still weird.
