I went from 122 to 118 in what I thought was a reasonable amount of time, less than 4 weeks. And I was having SUCH A GOOD DAY, eating like a champ and ran for 45 minutes the night before. I got on the scale the next morning at 121. What gives?

I think something may have been wrong in your 118 weigh-in.
4 weeks is a very short time for someone so slight to lose 4 pounds.0 -
This happens to me all the time and I think it's salt that bloats you. I know when I eat a slice of pizza or popcorn the next day I'm a couple pounds heavier. Lay off the salt for a few days and have a rest day before you weigh, might help give you a more accurate reading.0

Your weight can fluctuate by a few pounds at any given time. I wouldn't stress about it - just keep up what you're doing and next week you'll likely see the loss.0

Salt retention and Hard work outs cause you to retain water.
Keep salt <2400mg daily, get your 8+ glasses of water in.
Realize muscles retain water when you get a good burn in and will retain it for up to 3 days (or even longer if you're training and stressing them every couple of days).0 -
Water weight, probably?0
