I exercise DAILY....most generally I get in 4 miles and weekends on occasion I walk.

six to eight miles a day. I have dropped to 130 pounds and maintained this all thru winter. Since the nicer weather is here, I now have began the routine that i just mentioned nearly two months. Now I got on the scale and I weigh 135....that is five pounds more that what I did weigh. I have not went to "junk food" or increased my caloric intake. I have good labs, but have noticed that in the mornings my hands are swelled to the point that I cannot wear my wedding ring...so my question is have I actually gained weight or is it muscle mass that is the culprit here? Any answers will be appreciated for I have this undying fear that I will turn back into the "Old Me" and I know that is a psychological problem, but I am greatly concerned what is going on here......Thank You
