Lower consumption in and out, but still enough exercise to be lean and have a high metabolism. More even baseline energy too. This is probably what a healthy person is supposed to feel like.
When the training and overall consumption go up, I tend to creep up a few lbs closer to 150. That's usually not till mid November or so.
Your body starts storing more gycogen for one with more training stress. Second, training stress increases water retention or weight to facilitate recovery.
I weigh most at the first “peak” in TSS after a slump caused by “life”. Then as load becomes regular the weight comes back off.
I knew none of that, that’s what slowtwitch told me a couple times.
