Default water retension & motivation on weight gain!!

Huh!

My diet buddy thought yesterday when she saw my post on my "weight gain," that maybe it was water retension due to sore muscles from lifting new, heavier weights last week.

So, I thought I'd break protocol and weigh myself again this tuesday morning.... I'm back to my original 170.8 lb weight!

All I gotta do now is continue onward and see if I can drop a pesky pound and reach the 160s next week! I know I may not lose a pound, but it's sure great motivation to see this!!!!

Thanks everybody for your comments yesterday!!! You're a great bunch of 3fatchickies!

I haven't check my weight lately. Hmmm. I guess I'm not giving much attention on my health. My bad.

Glad to hear the weight whooshed away again!

Of course, it is very difficult to know WHY it came on and then off again... but that certainly happens a lot! Just more reason to keep a little chill when considering the scale...

Good for you, Tea!!!

I tend to do that also, gain about a pound after exercise. I noticed it the other week when I decided to check my weight after my nightly workout before going to bed. I was like what the heck!?!?! Then I realized what was happening because the next morning that pound plus some was gone.

I juggle my workouts once in the early day and again at night because with 3 children, I just don't have time to sit on a bike for an hour and then the treadmill for 40 more minutes. Add to that the strength training and I would have to hire a babysitter, haha. I decided to check it after my morning workout several days ago and it doesn't happen then, only during the nightly workout.

Like I said earlier; our bodies can do some very strange things for whatever reason.

At least now you know when you move up in weights to possibly expect this.

I know everyone says not to dwell on it and move forward, but I know it must have been frustrating when you know you did everything right. And aparently you did!
