I hear you! I too need a major workout after the snacks I had last night... Cardio today and Crossfit tomorrow morning. What is Paczki? I didn't think your body fat could fluctuates on a daily basis. I mean, I understand iot fluctuates, but my scale (which is totally inacurate anyway) wouldn't give such a precise measurement. Have a good day!  

Paczki pronounced "poonch-key", is a Polish delicacy. It is a very sweet, tasty powdered sugar bun type donut filled with a variety of flavors - blueberry, custard, apple, etc. They are a complete calorie bomb...ranging from 300-700 calories in one serving. I used to eat 1 or 2 on Fat Tuesday (Day before Lent - Ash Wednesday). Not anymore though. Body fat fluctuates because water weight/waste fluctuates daily. Your body makeup ranges from the morning all throughout the day - as much 2-5 lb variance throughout the day. I believe this "cycle" i have causes the fat to catch up to me throughout the middle of the week, but as I'm usually strict about diet throughout the week (which this week is not going so hot), it then lowers just in time for the weekend which then gets another increase in calories. It is a constant up/down relationship but not a YOYO in the extreme of gaining large amount of weight here and there. If you noticed my weight chart when I started "cycling", it is this gradual decrease in weight throughout the ever changing spike.
