The Scale Did WHAT?

I have been eating pretty well this week- minus the super small piece of fudge I ate at Whole Foods yesterday.  More importantly, I have been working out really hard.  And how does my body show its gratitude???  By gaining 2.4lbs in two days- that's how!  I know I have not taken in enough calories for this to be 'real' weight gain... and I know that I do sometimes gain weight after a few days of more serious workouts (damn muscles), but this just sucks.  I really wanted to cross the 100lb mark this weekend, and I feel it slipping away.  I know I WILL get there though, and that is what is important.
     
Now that I can blame my damn muscles for at least a part of that 2.4lbs, let's talk about these muscles.  Well, I have them.  They aren't huge, and yes, they are still hiding under an ample layer of fat.  But hello, I have muscles!  I was laying on my side a few nights ago and had my hand resting on my side (outer tush).  For some reason I clenched, and my butt turned hard!  I am developing glutes.  Yesterday morning I looked at my reflection in the glass on my way to Whole Foods (I was wearing my gym clothes), and I could see the definition of my right quad.  It has a long way to go, but there is real quad action going on here:)
  
As of today's annoyingly high weight I need to lose 3lbs to hit triple digits.  So back to the gym I will go to burn these pounds off one way or another!

Ohh that number will go down again! Did the same thing this morning! I had my lowest of low yesterday and today 2 lbs up! I blame it on the fact that I actually ate real good last night!

Feeling my hip bones are freaking me out a bit!

You'll definately get there! For me, it seems that I don't see a loss on the scale on the mornings after I work out (and sometimes I do see a gain)...the loss usually comes on my rest days...don't know why...
