Counterintuitive Progress

Since Monday I've upped my daily calories by about 200-300. I've also limited my cardio to only a half hour a day - most of which is low intensity. Today I hopped on the scale and weighed 160 even. I feel super muscular and my abs are really starting to appear. Even in the evening after 6 meals my abs are still visible.

Bodybuilding is often counterintuitive, I've found. You'd think doing more (as in dieting more rigorously, doing more cardio - and in some instances lifting weights more often) would get you more results. But the precise opposite is often the case.

So, I get to eat more (which not only makes my body look more muscular and leaner, but also has given me more energy and revitalized my face), exercise less and look better. It's a no-brainer.
