bah.

How the fuck do I gain five pounds in as many days by eating sensibly* and going to the gym four times?

Bah.



* There's no way in hell a bag of tortilla chips and 12oz of salsa weigh five fucking pounds above and beyond normal meals.

Are you on your period?

[etcet.livejournal.com]

that might explain the bitchiness....

[critus.livejournal.com]

No, that's just normal.

Maybe it's five pounds of muscle?

I believe the phrase is "don't i wish." :-)

Water weight.

Both just from a change in salt or water consumption (and I'm guessing there was a lot of salt in the chips and salsa), or from doing a lot of heavy weight training (I've heard that muscles that have the little microscopic tears that result from a good workout tend to retain water).

I know that I'm always heavier the morning after I've done a heavy weights session.

Ahh, you're right... it may well be salt befriending the daily gallon of water.

Honestly, my weight can vary by 2-7 pounds over the course of a week (and that's not including feminine issues). It's probably no big deal.


On a tangent, it occurs to me that you might fit in quite well at the gymrats community.

they bitch about not seeing any progress for two years at a time, too? ;-)

Ya gotta take a crap every now and then! :-D

I *knew* I was forgetting something; I do the Bull Shannon / National Guard approach to bathroom visitation - "One weekend a month, two weeks every summer."

ewwwww

When is the last time you went to the gym four days out of five?

[etcet.livejournal.com]

the week before mordvergence; so, two weeks ago.

[critus.livejournal.com]

Then yes, it's because of your increased activity - It can also, literally, take months of consistent activity for someone in relatively good shape (which you are) to see any kind of progress on the scale.

muscle weighs more than fat?

water weight?

If it makes you feel better I'm still down 10 pounds.

Define "sensibly"

I put on 17 lbs in 14 days once. =8-)

No seriously, it's water weight. My weight can vary up to 5 lbs after a single swim session.
