A Bit of Hope

Today, I found the following on the CF website.

Today’s as Rx’d. Question to fellow novice crossfitters: I started doing the prescribed WODs a few weeks ago in relatively good “soccer shape”. I’ve put on an unexpected 6
to 7 lbs. Anyone else notice this?

In the back of the Zone book, there is a chart to estimate your body fat percentage. It is just an estimate, but you can notice a trend. It compares your
weight, waist (for fat), and wrist (for bone). (different chart and measurement for women) It may not be totally accurate, but if you track yourself over time, you can definitely notice a trend in your lean muscle mass versus body fat. In my past 6 months, I’ve put on about 13 pounds of muscle, and lost about 19 pounds of fat. If I hadn’t been measuring, the scale alone would tell me I have had almost no results at all.

So, is this what's going on with me? I sure as hell hope so. Tomorrow morning I will have to do my measurements and find out what's really going on. I suppose I should have done this from the very beginning, but at least I know now, not six months from now.
