Nineteen Sundays of identical readings, then a different Monday

I’ve been in maintenance since last spring, and for a long stretch the scale was basically furniture. Same range, same three tenths, same shrug. I didn’t change much on purpose: kept the 20-minute post-dinner walk, kept protein at breakfast, kept the measuring cup in the drawer instead of on the counter. Last Monday the number dipped below the line I’d been staring at since February. No dramatic reveal — I actually thought the battery was low. What mattered more was that my habits felt automatic, not heroic. The drop was nice, but the routine was the real evidence. For those further out in maintenance, when the scale moves after a long flat stretch, do you trust it right away or wait a few mornings?
