Default Worried.... is this unusual?

I know I may be worried about nothing, particularly since my starting weight is so high, but I lost 9.2 lbs since last Friday. That really is quite a bit and way, way above the recommended losing rate.

So, is this a problem at all? I've been eating roughly the same thing since I started this WOL:

Breakfast
3 egg omelette w/ 1/4 cup mozzarella
1 tbs unsalted butter
4 slices bacon

Lunch
6 oz baked chicken
2 tbs mayonnaise
Caesar salad

Dinner
Steak, fish, or chicken
Usually mayonnaise to up fat content
salad or veggies

In fact, it got to the point where I stopped entering my foods into fitday because I was eating the SAME exact thing nearly every day. I know that I eat the correct ratio of fat:protein:carbs at ~70%:~25%:~5% and I get between 1800 - 2300 calories per day depending on the main staple of my dinner.

Here are the things I've done differently this week:
- Working out religiously
- Got a job that involves standing and moving 4-8 hours per day

So, the main question is: Should I be worried?
