Month 8 Results: Surprising Changes

Well.  I genuinely don't know what to make of this month.
 
Starting weight 8/1/2014: 218.7 lbs.
End weight 9/1/2014: 222.6 lbs.
Change: +3.9 lbs.
 
I, uh... I genuinely don't understand.  I started running 4 times per week instead of 3.  I did go on vacation and I'm sure we're all familiar with what vacations do for eating right.  I feel healthier, I think I look slimmer, and the scale is massively confused.  As of this morning I'm back up to 224 lbs.
 
So I guess the conclusion I've come to is that the scale is a nice metric for telling me if I'm way off for keeping myself responsible, but it is not the end-all-be-all for my journey.  I feel good.  I know my legs feel stronger and more muscular according to my loving fiancĂ©.
 
Anyway, on to photo documentation.  The left is from July 1st, the right is from September 1st.
 
 
Can you see where I gained 4 pounds?  Because I can't.
