Handling discouragement

So, I've been working out for one whole week. 20-30 mins of running plus another exercise of some sort - P90X or my own step aerobics or something. I've been feeling the pain in my legs and it's a good pain.

Today when I stepped on the Wii Fit scale to take my weekly measurements, I found myself exceedingly discouraged because I've gained five pounds. I KNOW muscle weighs more than fat. I KNOW wearing the same thing every time you weigh and weighing at the same time of day makes a difference. But for some reason I feel like I've been punched.

I will NOT, however, give up. It's just the first week, and there are never immediate results in this type of thing. I will lose the weight and get back down to where I feel comfortable in my skin. It will happen, because I've been feeling better. And I know anything is possible. Therefore I CAN do this.

Wow are there hurdles, though. I never expected them to feel so high.
