Do you just shake it off, and go back to your routine? Or do you have a few 'low calorie'/less food days to make up for it?
Both. If it happens over a weekend I just get back on track as soon as possible but no later than 1st thing Monday morning. If it happens on a weekday, this week it was Monday because we were out of town, then I rearrange my cals for the week. Because I zigzag my cals it's is very easy for me to switch my cals around. For example usually I have a higher cal day on Wednesday, but because of the unexpected temptations Monday, I just switch my cals and had Monday's cal range Wednesday and I'm still losing. Honestly, though I think your best bet is just except it, no one is perfect and this is going to happen throughout your journey and through maintenance, and get back on track as soon as possible. A few lbs is not going to negate all the work you've done and yes it sucks but you will lose them again and then more.
