Is Fickle Foe or Friend?

I think I've posted a few times about the scales being fickle.

I've had a few weeks of not eating so well - I've been away a lot and have just relaxed by eating and drinking and had a few extra treats - like a Ham and Cheese Croissant for breakfast (no I don't want to know how many thousand calories are in this!) and I've discovered Subways white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies (at 200 cals a pop (i've only just checked this out) and you buy them 3 for $2) this is half my daily cals in one hit! Exercise has been a little limited because of all the travelling. I knew I might have gained a little, but was ok with this, because I truly believe that eating healthily is now the norm not the exception, and a return to routine sees a return to good healthy eating habits. Of course the day I returned to "normal" I did my calf muscle in - so that's made cardio a challenge.

Anyway - earlier in the week I made myself face the music and stepped on the scales - 60.6kgs - eek - ok - how quickly can I get back to 58? Can I do it before the wedding at the beginning of August?
Well - goal achieved. I "stepped" on the scales on Friday to see 58.6, and Saturday 58.3. I've highlighted "stepped" because this is what made the scales fickle. You see earlier in the week when I stepped on - I leaned heavily to the right because of my calf injury. Friday - I realised I could weight bear much more evenly - and hey presto - 2 kg weight loss! If only we could always have the fickle scales work in our favour!
