Slightly stronger

Woke up at 7 so I could lift. Felt good, and soothed my guilt over not riding to Montauk in the rain yesterday. Feel 95% better today, should be back to normal in no time.

Read an interesting article that says that muscle burns many, many more calories than fat is a myth. Rather than 50x more, it's more like 2 to 3 times more, but you have to account for the calorie burning power of the fat your losing, so in reality if you lose 40 lbs of fat and gain 20 lbs of muscle, your metabolism only speeds up enough at a resting rate to eat, say, 1 singular Oreo a day.

Still, I'm happy with how my body is slowly and subtly changing. I doubt anyone can see a difference, but just walking and riding, I feel a slightly stronger stance, a slightly stronger core.
