Do you hve regular carb load days? You need them to keep your body guessing

Don't sweat it. Fluctuating like that in one week isn't all that uncommon. I was 191lbs 2 weeks ago, am hardcore carb cycling, had one of my best weekends yet in terms of sticking to it, and would up 2lbs heavier the next weekend's weigh in. It happens. Water. Excrement. Who knows. Next weigh in, you may very well lose more than you normally do in a 2 week period. You have to wait more than a week before assessing to make changes, and moreover, getting discouraged. 222 to 189 is nothing to sneeze at, you've done well so far so be proud of your accomplisments!
