I've really watched what I've been eating, too.

Today's weight . . . . . 190.2.

Damn. That was a lot of work to lose .2 lbs.

Hopefully next week will have better results.
You probably gained muscle mass. I would also suggest to mix it up and don't do the exact same exercise routine every day. Mix in a swim, a bike ride and an elliptical workout for example. What you also forgot is at least day of rest. It is absolutely necessary IMHO and after a good cardio workout the day before, you will still afterburn and not gain during a rest day. You can reach the point of diminishing returns in exercising if you burn yourself out. Your body will go into emergency mode and conserve like crazy.
