At least I've shifted from upset and disappointed to curious and content.

I puzzle that one myself as I've always associated fast short term gains/losses with water retention. I think somewhere Lyle McDonald said that water weight could mask fat loss for something like 10 weeks though before you'd see it on the scale. I don't remember the details. I'll have to see if I can find the post or article where he said that but won't be till later tonight. I want to get some yardwork done before dinner.
Curious and content is a good thing to be.
