From cardio to fatburning

Yesterday the scales showed me I gained weight again. However going into the details of it, I lost 5 lbs of fat, and gained 7 lbs of muscle, So I have decided to purposely bring down my fitness efforts, aka my heartrate. I now do my excercises at fat burning level, anywhere between 114 and 121 H(eart)R(ate).

I am getting stronger, and I can actually manage 20 minutes on the cross trainer. And what is more about 3 times today a sort of euphoria hit me, my skin started to tingle, and it was like I sort of ........it is so hard to explain.........I sort of went beyond myself. It was the oddest sensation I have had so far. Nothing like just being happy, tired, content, relaxed. A sort of physical "high" may be?

Sounds like you're getting an endorphin rush. It can happen when exercising and you cross a threshhold. You'll find fit people completely addicted to it.

Ha! I knew it!!!

My husband is an addictive type - and he is absolutely addicted to exercise (now why couldn't THAT be catching?) The endorphins make him a much happier person. Sounds like the same thing is happening to you!

Hurray endorphins! Yeah, you gotta love that feeling.

I love that feeling you described. My cross trainer has become my best friend and I have been meeting her 5 mornings a week faithfully even when I don't feel like it.

Keep up the good work. I'm sure you are just moment's away from consistent loss again.
