Starting again

Well after a too long of a time not walking and letting my blood pressure go back up, I decided to get busy and start to walking again. I started walking on Monday with about 8K steps then on Tuesday I managed about 9K steps. Wednesday and Thursday I managed to go over my 10K steps each days. And my blood pressure has come back to normal and maybe a little better. But as expected my weight has gone up a pound or two, why is the normal, well I am tearing my muscles due to use so they hold on to water and fluids to help them repair. So I am hoping that over the long run that I will be apple to lose some weight.
