I forgot to weigh myself this morning, so I will wait until tomorrow.

127 this morning....which is the wrong direction. There ARE signs that I am finally gaining muscle, and am certainly stronger so am hoping this is the explanation. I don't want to fool myself though so am examining my diet to see if I've allowed too many cheats to creep in.

Edited: My cheats are dark chocolate, some divine gelato, and beer The "divine gelato" source is right across the street from my office... It is also possible that my issues with not being able to ride for very long means I need to make up that cardio work elsewhere. I certainly get cardio during my group training, but that is only 3 days a week.

Been the same for 2 weeks. Actually, I'm pretty happy, as I've had lots of "cheats," not in the Paleo sense, but in the sense of lots of wine, and eating out, more calories than usual.
Getting ready to leave for a ride in Connecticut. I am still sic, but marginally better. It's making me hungry!

Perhaps I am worrying overly much over 2-3 pounds - my small Sugoui RS shorts are fitting the same, and indeed the cuffs on the legs this morning seemed looser/less compressive than the last time I wore them... I just spent so many years so large that ANY increase in weight makes me worry - and I still have that blasted apple shape - though it is no longer the super-size apple it once was I AM trying to gain strength, and I think that also can cause us to retain water in our muscles.

I really should know better by now...when I suddenly gain a few pounds it is always due to too few calories. When I bump up the calories, the extra few pounds go away. We simply MUST fuel for our activity level! That should probably be taped to my refrigerator door

I am reporting in with my weight from yesterday for this week. I'm sick, haven't been exercising, except for a walk, and now I'm going away for 3 days, on a cycling trip, with no cycling, due to rain, thunderstorms, etc.
