Week 6 Day 5

I'm just so exhausted today.. lack of sleep and all.. or not really lack, I guess I should say not enough. I guess I won't be exercising this morning as I had planned. Yesterday, at work, I was running around like crazy, which is what made me decide not to do Burn it Up last night and do Wii Fit, but I have to tell you, I really pushed myself really hard in Wii Fit and managed a run in 5 minutes while I usually do it in 10! that's twice the speed I usually engage myself in! pretty nuts, no? That'S not the only thing I do of course but that's the one I was most proud about. I did 33 minutes on the Wii.
This morning, when I weighed in, I was pretty pissed off to see I had GAINED 2.2lbs. I don'T cheat, I exercise long and hard and the weight goes up... by a lot! GRRR! I want to see this go right back down! and fast! I'll exercise tonight after supper, there's no way I can manage one right now as I am about the crash due to the lack of sleep
I also have to report I was watching the BNN newscast and was VERY happy they did a segment on the new ChaLEAN Extreme coming out in October. I looked at the preview and I am happy I decided to go with Chalene's workouts as my birthday gift in November. She seems like just what I want to workout with.
No offense to Debbie Siebers of course, I like her workouts too.. Maybe I'll prefer the Slim Series compared to the Slim in 6. I think the problem with Slim in 6 is the lack of variety. I ordered Kathy Smith's Project You last night and will look forward to do her program when I get it. :) and do the different bouts of Slim Series in between. :) Anyway. Today's feelings are disappointment in gaining so much weight while doing nothing off track, and motivation to push myself even harder today tonight. I need sleep now.

EDIT:
Alright, so I pushed play on Burn it Up and I could feel my muscles burning before the workout even started. I had the energy but the muscles would not cooperate and I knew I'd make the burn worse by exercising on top of it...so...Alex suggested I do one of the yoga workouts so I did Cool it Off. I really wanted to do Burn It Up tonight but as I told my coach, what use is it for me to get pretty in my my dress if I injure myself for the third time in 6 weeks right before the wedding. I think Cool it Off will have to do. It is better than nothing anyways.

Maybe you gained some muscle and that's why the scale went up? I know my second week in P90 I gained a couple of pounds and I didn't cheat either, since then I haven't put much stock in the scale. I rather look at the combined scale, measuring tape and how things are fitting (and soon I'll be measuring body fat too).

I'd like to believe it's muscle but while I just measured myself, there seems to be no changes in the inches around chest, waist or hips. So I think it may be water retention... plus my IBS acting up yesterday as I was not regular...
