Yes.  Your body is running on its own fat stores. Makes sense to me!

Check out the article by Dr. Dave L. on the site <www.cyberpump.com> if you
want to see an opinion/article about why we don't need cardio and why weight
training may suffice.  I've not read it yet, but my  husband has.  He stays
very lean with only infrequent cardio.  I'm not as lean as a female fitness
competitor, gymnast or body builder, but lean relative to most American
women.   (We both walk, for recreation and enjoyment during the warm months,
30-45 minutes 3-5x wk, with occasional longer walks when time permits and
the desire exists.)

Thanks for sharing your experience.  I know of some body builders who've
followed a similar stategy that you are using.
