pisces19's Journal, 17 April 2013

Weight up a bit again. This is probably because I worked so hard yesterday. I think I might have gained a little muscle. Awoke VERY sore this morning. Just starting to work out the soreness. Having tea and getting ready for the day. A bit more accomplished today at this time than yesterday. Got lots to do today before going to Mom's so I'll need to keep at it. Taking it a TINY bit slow this morning though. When I finish this, it is put laundry away, make breakfast, pack the car and go to the grocery store, then back here, then back to the laundromat, then back here for exercise and a shower, then I should be good to go visit Mom. Then I think my day is pretty open, actually...or my evening at least, for writing. Hooray! I really want to write a bit today. Enough making mixes, let's create those characters! A bit off topic.

Head congested this morning. Just had a sneezing jag. I think my sinuses are a little worse for the wear from working outside in the dry and dead leaves yesterday. Oh well, it couldn't be helped. Taking an Allegra and some Aleve, that should get me through the day.

I'll probably need to take some other medicine later for the cat allergy. Perhaps the inhaler will need to go with me today. Wouldn't be a bad idea.

No migraines, (although I awoke with what I thought might be one, turned out to just be congestion and muscle pain, but I am OK now.)

It takes women weeks of hard work to even gain one pound of muscle. What your experiencing is called "muscle edema." When you workout and feel that muscle soreness, it means your muscles are retaining water to help them heal. They get tears in the muscle fibers and water replaces to help them heal. This is how you build new muscle. The water can show on the scale as a temporary gain, no loss or smaller loss than usual. It goes away when your muscles gets used to the new exercise, but comes back when you change or start a new exercise plan. Google "why the scale lies" for insight in to water weight fluctuations. It's interesting and helps you understand the scale better.
