Seems that my worries yesterday about my weekly stats were unfounded. My weight was down almost 2 pounds, my waist was a quarter inch smaller and my estimated body fat was down also down a tenth of a percent.
Just keep in mind, weekly numbers are not that important, those stats above, although they are all on the positive side could more or less be considered equal to last weeks stats... a quarter inch around the waist could be the difference in how taut or loose you are holding the tape measure, or how much air you're holding in your lungs. The 2 pounds could be the difference of how much water you're holding or if you've eliminated waste recently. And home body fat measurements and online body fat calculators are very inaccurate, I only use it as a numerical gauge to back up the best home method... the mirror.
What I'm really interested in is an overall positive trend over time. One week over the next is not as important as is month to month. If you go back a few steps in one week it's not that important, but if you have made no progress in a month or slipped backwards, something is wrong and it might be time for an adjustment in your program.
