September/October weight loss challenge

[azfiddle]

After 2 months of maintaining around 111-112, my weight has jumped up to 115. I know I didn't eat 10,000 extra calories since last week..

I am following a training plan to get ready for a century ride, with lots of miles, and intervals. I'm eating more to keep up with fueling for the rides, but I am convinced I'm seeing water retention from the increased stress on my muscles (not to mention feeling.

I have one more week with intervals, then a recovery week- when I hope to see that number come back down. I'm not panicking yet.

That sounds a reasonable assumption, I noted that when I was still training for my brevet, before my hamstring problem put a temporary stop to my long rides. You could also be adding muscle as well.

I need to post in a day early this week. 140 this morning. Not bad. I was able to trim back some of the crappy food, though there were those pumpkin cupcakes .... I'm continuing my food diary, and looking at success one week at a time. For me, looking daily is too up/down, one week at a time works for me!
