Two Pounds!? Where'd They Come From!?

Perhaps I’m being slightly dramatic - but over the last few days, I’ve gained a couple of pounds - unintentionally.

I’d like to believe it to be muscle - but that ‘rubbery-ring’ around my middle tells me it’s not.

And yet - I’m working out quite hard; lifting more weight than I ever have in my entire life; my diet remains the same so - how could that be?

I have no easy answer. Is it stress? But from what?

I think I’m just ‘transitioning’.

And perhaps I’m not noticing that there is actually muscle developing - somewhere - below that - rubbery ring.

I know, I know - I exaggerate.

I’ve never been fitter or looked finer; I’ve nothing to complain about.

But I don’t see how striving to be one’s best should ever be construed as being negative - working towards a goal requires discipline and a critical eye - simply observing the fluctuations along the way does not constitute a desire to fail but rather, the ability to see clearly what further needs to be done.

Or something like that…

This is what I know: Unless it’s muscle - the two pounds are going…

And with that -

Good night!
