Trying to get back on track

Hey everyone it's been a while. I am trying to get myself back on track. I have been working a lot again and my weight actually has went up a lot more then I wanted it too, everyone says i shouldn't worry I'm building muscle but I'm not going with that, I know I need to get down about 6 or 7 pounds and then I'll be okay. I have been doing a lot of weight lifting, and I'm also training to run a 3 mile race in October, so I've just started running last week, I am up to 3/4 of a mile at a 4.6 - 4.8 pace so pretty happy with how it's going so far.  My weight was at 152.4 this morning, I am still really wanting to get down to 140 but at least 145 for sure. I really think tha'ts possible even though I am doing weight training, I see no reason I can't still loose some, what do you all think?  I have lowered my calories back down and started writing down everything I eat again and seeing if that helps.
