Lift vs Run


So for the last week I find that my weight is slowly going down then going up slightly or staying the same, but my fat mass is going decreasing and muscle mass is increasing.  I have been told this is because I am converting more fat into muscle than actually burning off all the fat.  I have been doing a lot of cardio and weight lifting and feel much better and stronger.  The issue I have is will this lead me to my weight goal of 190 pounds.  I very conflicted, one hand I want to be skinny but on the other I do want to stronger.  When I played football my body was "heavy"  but I could bench press and leg press massive weight.  I was a lineman with a linesman's body shape, I am starting to feel that way again.  The problem is that if I want that body type I might not ever be skinny.  I do enjoy eating the healthier and smaller portion foods and working out on an almost daily basis.  I have more energy and able to do more activities which in turn drives me more to push myself.  I guess in the end that is what I consider "Healthy"  

Till next time

Tom
