You ignore those scales as all that wonderful exercise will be burning you loads of calories and toning those muscles. Just keep drinking loads of water, as more than likely those muscles could be hanging onto water. I know when I first started doing more exercise, I used to be put off by the scales hiking up... perhaps check too though how many activity points you are gaining for exercise, as I found I actually had to increase my calories - so do make sure you eat enough. Glad to hear that you're sticking to your cereal diet and hope that you have a lovely lunch with your friend tomorrow! :o) You just keep up the great work though as those scales WILL catch up. ;o)
