Default gaining muscle!

Hi everybody!
I have this very cool Tanita body composition
monitor (Tanita Inner Scan) and on 02/07/06 I had the following results:

weight: 65.2 kg
bodywater: 55%
bodyfat: 20.5%
muscle mass: 51.6 kg
bone mass: 2.7 kg

Last Saturday it said:
weight: 66.8 kg
bodywater: 55%
bodyfat: 20.5%
muscle mass: 53.1 kg
bone mass: 2.8 kg

So you see, the increase in weight is only muscle and bones, way cool,
eh? It seems it happens just like Schwarzbein says, now that I'm eating more carbs (I ate too little before on CALP), the protein and fat is mainly used for regeneration and rebuilding.

I'm very scale phobic and alwas freak out when I see it go up, but this positive result is encouraging and I try to stay cool about the increased number. It is not easy as I'm hooked on numbers but I'm getting over it I
hope. I just wish I could ignore the scale, but it gives me some kind of security knowing where I stand. I've fought so hard to get the weight off, I don't want to regain it all. But if it is mainly muscle, I can live with that, the guys at my gym are getting envious already, LOL.
