Looking bigger!

Over the past few weeks, I've increased my workouts. I used to do body pump 3x per week and run occasionally. I now do it with running 6x per week and I literally look like a bloated dimply blimp. Why is this? My diet is ok; nothing has really changed. I just look all out of wack and it's annoying.

    Water retention? Just a thought...

    Probably. It can't be fat. I couldn't get that fat that fast. I'm literally like 10 lbs bigger and look horribly dimply. And honestly, my water intake has been crappy.

    Increased exercise + low hydration = water retention

    Yep. I'm pretty sure that's it. I guess I'll have to do better.
