I work out pretty regularly and my diet is pretty good. I try to stick to a low carb plan.  In the past month, I've been attending spinning classes, an aerobics class and run on occassion, too.  I'm training for a half marathon on December.  Anyhow, I've noticed that my weight has gone up from 129 to 134.  I thought maybe it was water retention, so I cut back on my sodium intake, drank a ton of water and checked back in two weeks and it was still the same.  Could it still be water retention or am I gaining muscle mass that I just never had before?  Looking at myself in the mirror, I don't see a physical change.  My clothes still fit the same, that isn't an issue and my doctor says that I'm at a very healthy weight for my height (5'6 1/2"). 

 

Thoughts? Should I kick the low carb in to high gear and really focus on that if I want to get my weight back down to what it was??  Cut out any type of sweets altogether?  I'm confused.Â
