CathyJo77 's Journal, 23 February 2010

I couldn't help it, I had to step on the scale this morning. After an extra hard workout yesterday I expected the scale to go down but it is holding steady at 151. I think possibly ramping up the exercise a bit has caused me to retain some fluid because the muscles are inflamed a bit and holding in extra fluid. I'm focusing on how I feel instead of the number on the scale and now that it is almost March, cycling season cannot be far away. I feel I will be a stronger rider this season and am very excited about that. Also, I had a conversation with my boot camp cycling instructor who has asked me to help her get the women in the class get started on road bikes this summer. They are all so athletic (and skinny!), I know they will be strong riders. And it would be so much fun to ride with more women who have a goal to be strong riders! Although, I do also enjoy my social rides as well :). Anyway, it is something to look forward to!

You are correct about the muscles. I have been adding extra and my muscles hurt. I am looking forward to getting on my bike too. You have a great attitude. You are doing great.

You will be OK. You are right - muscle edema from a hard workout can add 2-3 pounds. You will be fine by Saturday. Just do what works for you. I am so jealous that you are going to have so many strong women to ride with - I am definitely coming down to ride with all of you this spring! I hope I can keep up. I want to ride my bike so badly!!! I am tired of this cold weather and snow.
