I remember the last time I was around 55 kg which was after one of my comps and I struggled with my fitness. I remember how hard body weight exercises felt and I could barely run without almost keeling over. I am much fitter now and I know my 55 kg has more muscle than previously.
The other thing I noticed on the weekend was that my friends were complaining how they were cold and I was walking around in jeans and a singlet. I'm usually a bit of a frog and have been known to wear a jacket when I go out in summer but I seem to be running a little bit warmer than normal. I was wondering if my metabolism has increased and I'm therefore generating a bit more heat than I used to.
There are times when I think I would like to see what my body composition is just to see how much muscle, if any, I've gained but then I think, meh, why bother.

You have definitely gained muscle Michelle! Lifting heavier, feeling fitter while at a heavier weight are definite tell-so signs!
Interesting what you say about feeling warmer as well! I hate cold, and love heat, (so was concerned about that with moving back to the south of NZ.) I definitely miss the heat but if training, or moving in general I seem to get around outside in short sleeves often it it reaches 13 or 14 at the moment with little wind. I can pretend! The fact that I've quit coke zero, and replace that with green tea or coffee if I don't have water has helped with that too.
That's awesome! :)
