But then I looked at the second chart below the weight -- although I may have gone up 3 pounds on the scale, I apparently dropped 3 pounds of fat and gained 3 pounds of muscle (which I saw on another chart). 

That made me feel better but -- yeesh! -- why can't this be easier?

I will be making an adjustment to one of my evening routines, which does hamper my nighttime eating. I'm going to make my kid's lunches right after I eat dinner -- that way I won't be tempted to let the errant slice of turkey or cheese slip into my piehole.
