Revenge of the cheesecake
I think it’s finally hit me. I was 154.6lbs this morning. Also, I didn’t drink as much water yesterday. Do your muscles weigh more when they hurt? I am SORE today = major muscle inflammation. Off work today because I was sick during the night I was getting so nervous about this exam, which is ridiculous. I need to chill out and just keep studying.
I wanted to exercise and catch up on stars!! But right now even walking is a challenge ![]()

Listen to your body!
Yes, your muscles weigh more when they hurt!
Actually, it’s the water retention that weighs more. The most common cause of muscle soreness are little tiny tears caused by a bit of over-exertion. Those tiny tears are seen by the brain as “Oh no! It’s an injury!!” and so fluids are sent to the site to aid in healing.
There are SO many reasons why weight can fluctuate! I weigh myself daily too and had to learn to just roll with the fluctuations or they’d truly drive me over the edge!
