Ok, so I have been working out for years - mostly weight lifiting, but after high school I started gaining in some weight, so I continued my work out routines and I saw only little changes in my body.
Now I am 22 years old, and doing more cardio work to burn fat because at 5'2" I weighed at 136lbs. - but I began to grow a larger belly so I knew right then I needed to push myself to sweat and tears... and I have been doing so.
Now I fit in some walking, jogging, jumping rope and bicycling - this is the only week however where I have seen some dramatic changes. Now I am a father of a 15 month old, and most of you parents in here can concur that they are quite a handful! I also work nights and my wife works different shifts during the day - so the only time I can really work out is at nights - late at nights.
My workouts begin around 10:30pm - 11:30pm, I start with about 5 minutes of stretching followed with either of the cardio workouts mentioned above for about 20 minutes with only 60 seconds of rest and water every 5 minutes within that periond of time. I sweat very fast, and I just keep going and push myself for just one more extra minute when possible.
This week I've weighed myself in the mornings, because I work out evenings I have read somewhere that all the water drank during that workout period will add up to the scale as well. So I weigh myself the morning after... and I see fluctuating numbers with my chart, is this normal and is there a reason why the numbers go up at night before my workout, but then jump down in the morning when I weigh myself again? Could it be because of all the food I've been eating throughout the day or could it just be water? And lastly, at which time of weighing myself is it the correct weight?
Here are my one week's findings:
Day 1: 136 lbs.
Day 2: 136 lbs.
Day 3: 132 lbs.
Day 4: 134 lbs.
Day 5: 129 lbs. (TODAY)
