Bulking, but not losing.

I seem to be going backwards in my effort to get to 190 pounds.  I probably should have held off on the 21-day bulking cycle until I got down to my goal weight, but I'm 14 days in at this point so I'm not going to stop.  So, I gained two pounds for the week.  That's the second straight week that my weight has gone up rather than down.  The good news is that most of the two pounds, 1.715 to be exact, was a gain in lean muscle mass, which is what I am trying to accomplish.  While I hate that my weight has increased that last two weeks by three pounds, more then two and a half pounds has been an increase in lean muscle mass.  Last Tuesday I abandoned the carb cycling I had been on.  Once I thought about it, it made absolutely no sense, especially since I was trying to pack on lean muscle mass.  I have to have carbs before and after I lift weights.  Otherwise, the body is going to take from the muscle mass for energy since there is a carb deficit.  It probably didn't help my cause that I did go a bit overboard from Wednesday to Sunday on the carbs.  I even drank a few beers yesterday as the weather was beautiful.  Anyway, it's Monday so it's time to get back on the right track that got me to where I am today and stop fiddling around with the diet so much.  As long as I get my cardio in six days a week and hit the weights four days a week, along with the proper diet of around 2000 calories, the weight will continue to drop and I should be able to continue to add lean muscle mass.  Here are the stats for week 20.  Hopefully next week will see a drop instead of an increase in weight.
