Day 32 - Week 5 Head Scratching Continues

Scale said 228 this morning.  F'me, I've added back 5lbs in less than a week.  I'm pretty sure it's not a bathroom thing as in week3.  Equator measurement was a hair under 39".  Looking in the mirror I'm not seeing any weight gain, actually I'm still slimming up.  Dress pants for work are still lose.  Tue and Wed of this week I was in a new belt notch on two different belts.  I'm back in ketosis, 1.1 this morning.  And I feel really good overall.  This damn scale is jacking me up.

I'm at a loss right now.  I even got up and redid my weekly spreadsheet to see how many calories I'm actually taking in.  Off to the far right you can see the averages for the week.  I averaged out the daily intake and then I averaged out the daily intake minus the averaged exercise kilojules for the week.  In doing this, I'm well below 2,000 calories a day....

I also went through and highlighted the daily carb overages through this journey and the days the fat fell below 70%.  A lot of the carb blunders were on the days I used UCAN last week.

I've upped my training the last few weeks.  I'm supplementing the up tick in training with a lot of zone 1 and 2 riding so I don't drop in to the over-training zone.  I feel great.  My legs feel great.  I feel strong on the bike.  I'm in ketosis.  I just can't understand the calorie increase.  Maybe I've got to drop my calories a lot more?  Maybe my body is responding to the training and adding mass?  That seems to be an overly optimistic view...

I do know that the training is likely causing issues I'm just can't pin point it.  I have a road race I committed to this weekend and two days of crit races the following weekend.  I'm just going to focus on them for now and worry about the weight afterwards.  With that said, staying focused on the races isn't going to stop me from wondering what's going on or trying to figure it out....
