So I was so worried about my sudden increase after 2 weeks of really training hard, I sat down and discussed this with my trainer/nutritionist, trying to understand it more. So I weighed in on Sunday, I was meant to have a rest day on Saturday but I didn't, I ran a 5km race on Saturday, then took my dog for a 6km brisk walk and then ate a very high carb dinner. By doing this, my body had water retention from the high carb diet. Because I trained hard the week, and I never took a rest day and then ran a race, my weight gain could have been caused by muscle fiber inflammation, muscle glycogen and water weight from the water retention. So I was told to take Monday off and do nothing and weigh in again on Wednesday morning. So I weighed in today and I see that I actually have lost weight. So I'm learning and losing still, quite excited and relieved and just thought I'd share with others who may train or eat right but struggle with the yoyo scale effect and the feelings of giving up sometimes when you see that increase after you've worked so hard.
