I just ate what felt to be a "normal" amount of food for three meals and one snack.

I "gained" 3 pounds in the past few days too - 3 parties this weekend (Easter, son's bday, friend) so I ate whatever I wanted, but I did workout and am drinking water like no one's business so I expect to really be up about 1 pound at my weekly weigh in on Saturday.

Some weeks are that way, we are busier, eat a little more or work out a little less or whatever, and then we gain a little. So what? When we are able, we start to eat a little less or move a little more and the weight comes off. We are not good or bad if we lose or gain weight.

Especially since eating out and processed foods have more sodium, which helps you retain the water. I can have one 6-in sub from Subway and go up 2 lbs the next day from water weight!

Your blog is one of the major reasons that I've been able to get back on track after gaining 35 lbs. over my goal weight. I've been slowly chipping away at it, but I'll never be someone who loses consistently without any gains. That's just not the way my body works. :) It's nice to see wahoostampingirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399270304341123753noreply@blogger.com
