How do I know when it's time to make a change?

When the scale hasn't moved in two weeks, I think that's probably a sign. Last week I was down 0.2 pounds. This week I'm back up the 0.2 pounds, so I'm where I was 2 weeks ago.

Yes, I did say that this was going to be a crazy few weeks where I couldn't necessarily plan well or rely on a routine.

Given that, what was I expecting, really?

On one hand, I probably expected it to be worse than it is. On the other, was I hoping for an inexplicable shift? That I can magically melt away weight eating abnormally and going to the gym 2 or 3 times? Probably not realistic.

I do have one more week of crazy to go, but this week might not be as bad as the previous 2. (Famous last words, I know), so I'll see how we can readdress this stagnation a bit more thoughtfully.

On a positive note, my body fat percentage is down another point, officially moving that lever more than 10% from where we started. A lot further to go, but a small victory I'll take.

This week's weight: +0.2 lbs
This weeks body fat percentage: -1%
BMI Change: 0


Thanks for reading!
