Frustrated!!!!

Stepped on the scale this morning and saw 238, a 2 lb gain!  I have been on the verge of tears all day.  Why bother putting in all the work when it's not showing?!  I constantly get, "maybe you're gaining muscle?"  I call BS!  I would believe it if I didn't have so much FAT to get rid of!  Shouldn't I be shedding fat before I gain muscle?  I don't want to gain muscle at this time, later yes but now I want to shed the fat.  WTF?!  I like to work out, it (normally) makes me feel better.  It's something for ME and I really don't want to give it up.

My eating hasn't been horrible either.  The weekends are tougher since Jim's been home but nothing that would cause me to gain 2 lbs in a week!  I have had to make dinners since Jim's home but I try to skinny it up as much as I can.  I have also been working on portion control and have been proud of my efforts.

I decided to not workout as much today to see if that will help.  I did the weight loss program on the elliptical which is 33 min then did the bike for 15 min.

I'm at a loss (not on the scale though) so I may be doing some research this weekend.  Any advice or tips are appreciated!

On another note.  Does anyone else get splotches on their legs after working out?  I do, everytime and I'm not sure why.
