Stupid scale.

I don't normally weigh myself. I don't like judging myself based on a number and it usually just makes me feel bad about myself, but I have been working out for a while and thought I would give it a go.

Well .... guess what?

After almost 2 months of working out at least 3 times a week (the last 3 weeks have been 5 times), I have gained weight. WTF is up with that? I know that it has nothing to do with numbers. I know that shouldn't matter one bit. The important thing is that I feel better and stronger. I have more energy. I'm happier ... er ... I was until I weighed myself. I'm never stepping on a scale again.

Are you putting on some lean muscle, my sweet?

Either you are putting on some muscle or your brain is getting bigger. ;)

I'm all muscle and brains. ;-)

I have always heard that muscle weights more than fat. Instead of weighing yourself, you should measure yourself every few weeks and see where you inches are going and growing! (Measuring your brain might be hard, but I'll work on thinking of a way.)

Definitely remember that muscle weighs more than fat. Chrissy is right, if you want to see a difference, measure your waistline or thighs, etc. Do your pants feel looser? I don't believe in scales, either. How do you look to yourself?
