I've been very good about going to the gym most days

and the results?

I've fucking gained weight. That is the result of working out every day. I gained 5 pounds.

Jesus Christ on a Popsicle stick!

I'm even paying for a personal trainer to torture my "core" muscles for a half hour. Which is very painful, by the way. And then I spend a half hour on the arc trainer. And then I stretch and do my back exercises. The results are weight gain.

I get that muscle weighs more than fat, but this is a real shit sandwich. Because the whole point was to lose weight and not gain it.

I guess this is another instance of the way my life seems to work.
