Water Retenstion After Big Burn?

I am wondering what people think about your body retaining water after a big burn. I walked about 6 miles yesterday, took a spin class, and a ballet barre class and am sore today. I ate within my calorie goal too but I hopped on the scale this morning and was up about a pound and a half!

I keep hearing people talking about tearing muscles as you work them, and then they retain water? Any truth to this? Kind of sounds like BS to me and haven't seen anything all that reliable to support the idea in a cursory google search.

And yes, I spelled retention wrong in the heading. Argh.
