Why have I gained weight!? :(

Anytime I do a hard workout like Jillian’s 30ds or weight training exercises the next day I'm up 2-3 pounds. Take this morning for example- Yesterday was my weigh in day, I weighed in yesterday morning at 166.6 (scary number with all those 6s :noway:) I ate just under my calorie goal and workout with a burn of 500+ calories, the majority of my workouts where weight/strength training. I woke up this morning and my stomach felt so tight and looked much much smaller, my arms where like rocks and my calves to but when I got on the scale it said 169 now this could be for several reasons 1. I ate to much salt yesterday (my body does not like sodium) 2. My muscles are holding water retention etc. So don’t freak out over 2-3 pounds + or - just keep doing what you’re doing and you will see a difference in your body. With that being said I'm a scale-a-holic and need to stop weighing everyday cause it gets me down when I see things like this AM even though I can see and feel a difference. I would def. recommend measuring once a month you will see a difference you may not notice since you look at yourself every day Good Luck Hun and remember stay positive no one ever made these kinds of changes and stayed the same don’t let that "excuse" get you going in the wrong direction.

Ps. I would recommend opening your diary this helps you stay more honest with yourself and lets people give you advice on things you’re eating (or not eating) that could make a huge difference
