Yes, probably from your muscles holding onto a little extra water which they will use to repair themselves. In fact, it's not unusual to gain and hold onto about 2-3 lbs when you start lifting. It will eventually go away as you continue to eat right, but it's your body doing what it needs to do. It's not fat though, so even though your scale is up, your clothes should fit better. You could probably resolve to stay off the scale for 3 weeks and make yourself much happier!
