Week-End Warrior

I don't excercise at all during the week but come the week-end, I go full tilt and ride about 30 miles of up hill and down hill cycling (3 to 4 hours = 800+ calorie expenditure) and yet when Monday comes around, I feel fatter than fat! Bloated and grose.  I'm drinking about 1000 mls of water during the week and then more during the weekend to compensate.  Why do I feel so huge after excercising? And no, I am not compensating with food.

water displace ment im guessing. you probally consume alot of water while doing these bike rides and the water is rushing all around your body. so even after you stop excercising the water is still there moving around. then it slowly slows down and you start feeling bloated. if your anything like me (which i hope so) you drink alot of water during these workouts because you honestly need it or youll hurt yourself. so if you enjest to much itll just sit there for awhile because your not getting much of it out of your system other than when you pee. im kinda completly opposite of you. i workout every day except weekends but on weekends i feel so fat and bloated its just rediculus. but this is all just cuz of the water most likely :)
