Week 3: Muscle weighs heavier than fat

Current weight: 115.1 kg

This week I am clinging to the fact that muscle weighs more than fat because although I have lost 2% of my body fat, I have actually managed to put on weight (though not up to my starting weight). It is a little disheartening as I feel like I have worked really hard this week. I have followed my diet really well and I used the gym 5 times.
As promised last week, I have attempted some classes. I thought I would start gently with a water workout, but it turned out not to be so gentle. I found that because the water is so supportive I could push myself so that I got a great muscle and cardio workout.
Today I did a double class of cxworks and bodypump. As this was my first time, the instructors were great in keeping an eye on me and giving alternative moves if they saw that I was struggling. These clases are great for developing core muscle strength which will help the niggly back pain I sometimes get. I am sure I used muscles that I never knew I had and I will feel the results tomorrow morning.
