10 Signs You’re Exercising Too Much:

Fat gain
If you’ve lost weight but noticed an increase in body fat, you could be in the later stages of exercise overload. The body responds to prolonged stress by elevating levels of stress hormones, including cortisol, Stenstrup says. Over time this will lead to increased storage of adipose tissue, as well as inhibit steroid-like hormones that normally help increase muscle. A decrease in muscle mass can cause you to shed a few pounds, but this isn’t a good thing since it means your body’s less efficient at burning fat.

Breakfast @ 7.30am

Bread and low fat cheese.

Lunch @ 1pm

Bowl of caesar salad with salmon. It had lots of white sauce… probably very fat.

Dinner @ 6.30pm

Bowl of duck and cabbage soup. 1/3 bowl of red rice and vegetables. 2/3 of a sausage.

I feel like I’m putting on weight again (maybe going back to eating 3 meals a day haha). Not going to put myself on the scales just now.
