Vim cursor moves forward 7 characters when I use my remapped <Esc>

I took a stab at writing my own .vimrc for the first time. I've gotten used to using "kj" as a replacement for Escape so I added a remapping. Here is a copy of my .vimrc:

set nocompatible
filetype off

" Plugins
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()

Plugin 'gmarik/Vundle.vim'

Plugin 'sjl/badwolf'
Plugin 'scrooloose/nerdtree'
Plugin 'scrooloose/syntastic'
Plugin 'scrooloose/nerdcommenter'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
Plugin 'kien/ctrlp.vim'
Plugin 'majutsushi/tagbar'
Plugin 'bling/vim-airline'
Plugin 'bronson/vim-trailing-whitespace'

call vundle#end()
filetype plugin indent on

" Ctrl P
let g:ctrlp_atch_window = 'bottom,order:ttb'
let g:ctrlp_switch_buffer = 0
let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 0

" Syntastic
set statusline+=%#warningmsg#
set statusline+=%{SyntasticStatuslineFlag()}
set statusline+=%*

let g:syntastic_always_populate_loc_list = 1
let g:syntastic_auto_loc_list = 1
let g:syntastic_check_on_open = 1
let g:syntastic_check_on_wq = 0

let g:syntastic_js_checkers = ['jshint']

" Fugitive
set statusline+=%{fugitive#statusline()}

" Vim Airline
set laststatus=2

" Colors
syntax enable
colorscheme badwolf
let g:badwolf_darkgutter=1

" Misc
set ttyfast
set backspace=indent,eol,start

" Spaces & Tabs
set tabstop=2
set expandtab
set softtabstop=2
set shiftwidth=2
set autoindent

" UI Layout
set number
set showcmd
set cursorline
set wildmenu
set showmatch
match Error /\%81v.\+/

" Searching
set ignorecase
set incsearch
set hlsearch

" Folding
" set foldmethod=indent
" set foldnestmax=10
" set foldenable
" nnoremap <space> za
" set foldlevelstart=10

" Shortcut Remmaping
inoremap kj <Esc>       
vnoremap kj <Esc>

" Movement
" nnoremap <buffer> <silent> j gj
" nnoremap <buffer> <silent> k gk
map <C-h> :wincmd h<CR>
map <C-j> :wincmd j<CR>
map <C-k> :wincmd k<CR>
map <C-l> :wincmd l<CR>

" Leader Shortcuts
let mapleader=","
let g:mapleader=","
nnoremap <leader>w :NERDTree<CR>
nnoremap <leader>l :call ToggleNumber()<CR>
nnoremap <leader><space> <silent> :nohlsearch<CR>
nnoremap <leader>t :TagbarToggle<CR>

" Custom Functions
function! ToggleNumber()
  if(&relativenumber == 1)
    set norelativenumber
    set number
  else
    set relativenumber
  endif
endfunc

" Return to last edit position when opening files (You want this!)
autocmd BufReadPost *
     \ if line("'\"") > 0 && line("'\"") <= line("$") |
     \   exe "normal! g`\"" |
     \ endif
" Remember info about open buffers on close
set viminfo^=%

When I include the "kj" remappings upon pressing "kj" while in insert mode, I enter normal mode and then my cursor moves forwards 7 characters. Without the remapping the letters are simply be typed into the buffer.

I have tried disabling all of my plugins, but the problem still persists. This is driving me mad, any ideas what could be causing this to happen?

There are trailing spaces right after inoremap kj <Esc>, which is interpreted as a part of the mapping. Try removing these spaces.
