The body is a funny thing (if you are looking at mine, it is a very funny thing).
I work out and the scale stays the same, but when I take a day off from the gym and weigh myself the following day my weight goes down.
Listen up. I am not saying that if I don't work out for a week it will automatically go down, but this has happened several times in the last month.
So what's up? Some of the articles I have read about weight loss have said something about building muscle and losing fat when you sleep. I am definitely on board if that is the case. Something about exercise and your body continuing to burn fat as you rest/sleep. So maybe taking a day off from my workout allows my body to burn more fat. Anybody out there hear of this phenomenon?

I think you do need to rest in between workouts, to let your body process the workout and respond to it. That's my plan of attack anyway. Have you checked out the Hungry Girl cookbooks? They're great low-fat, low-carb recipes for usually 1-4 people. I love them, and there's enough to keep you in new foods for weeks!
