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 fiancé.
 
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.
