I know this is kind of an old post, but just wanted to throw my opinions out there. I wouldn’t get worried if I were you. In fact, I heard that when you do intense exercise, without rest, your weight goes up due to your muscles holding onto water. Something to do with inflammation I think? Regardless, I notice my weight goes up when I don’t take a rest day or two. Maybe don’t exercise so hard this week and see what happens?

Eugene has a great local coconut milk ice cream…Coconut Bliss http://coconutbliss.com! I don’t know how they do it, but it’s always SO DELICIOUS.

Your muscles are probably retaining water from all the bike riding, running, salt, and yes, eating carbs can even make you retain water. It could also be your period. I shoot up like, five pounds TTOM. Don’t let it worry you. =) You’re slim, healthy, and gorgeous.

Your salad looks so crisp, fresh, and delicious! Yum. Perfect warm-weather food (except that it’s never really warm here, is it?). :D

I’ve never had peanut butter pancakes, but yours look delicious! And I feel your frustration on the scale. Hopefully it’s not too de-motivating. Glad to have stumbled upon your blog!

I think everyone else ^^^^ covered my thoughts on the scale :) So many things can be a factor – but that doesn’t mean it’s not frustrating :(
Great photos though! How wonderful is that sunshine!

Are you running so much for weight loss purposes? Or just because you love running? Because as far as weight loss goes, I think you’d be better off running less and doing more strength training! Just a thought :)

But like others have mentioned, don’t get too hung up on it because a) there are SO many factors that go into our body weight (i.e. time of day and water weight) and b) remember that you’re sassy and fit just the way you are!

I would be so annoyed by those 2 pounds! I’ve recently decided to take a little weigh-in break. I think I make it matter too much. I can have a great week, and a bad weigh-in will make me just want to quit.

I weigh myself every day. I KNOW that people say you aren’t supposed to, but I do. Water weight or not…it is ANNOYING when you are doing everything right and it goes UP! I totally hear you there! There is always that time of the month too when you get all bloated and well it’s just an all around bad time! And, you have to take into consideration if you’ve pooped or not. I know, I’m a first time reader and I’m already talking about poop. I think it’s because I’m a mother. It’s a fact of life AND it’s healthy. So if you ate salt, drank loads of water, ate normally, and are having your “flux” within two weeks…SHOOT, you could go up five pounds.

And your salad, yum!
