When I take a sauna after exercising at the gym, my weight goes down from .2 to a full pound. But it doesn't work the same for the steam room. I gain weight--but that's because my shirt is soaked after I come out. Not that any of this affects my "real" weight. I figure the sauna is just like a food dehydrator; 180 degrees of dry heat is just turning me into "person jerky." (Soylent green is PEOPLE!)
Lots of factors can affect my immediate weight. Everybody talks, of course, about how muscle is built and so a more effective measure is waist size. But other things that can affect weight in the short run are whether or not I have drunk water (one gallon is seven pounds), whether or not I have gone to the bathroom (crude but true, number two lops off more than one), morning vs. evening (morning is after the long sleep-fast so weight will be less), and so on...None of this really affects progress.
Today (actually, I guess it was yesterday since it's now after midnight) I did about an hour and a forty-five minutes of resistance and cardio, after working on the push-up thingy from http://www.hundredpushups.com earlier in the day. So let's see how I feel when I wake up. Usually the soreness from resistance training comes about two days after working out, unless I've had a special day, when the big hurt can come on the next day.
