Unhappy Gained 5 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So this weekend my mom and sisters and I went on a trip to Mall of America. We spent 3 days there. I walked around the mall for 2 days all day long. And when we ate I thought I made good choices. Apperently not. The only time I didnt eat a very good meal was the last night in the hotel we ordered pizza. And even then instead of eathing 2/3rds of a pizza i only had 2 slices. I would have thought with all that walking that I would have at least stayed the same in weight. I'm so depressed.......

If you ate at all the food courts, you ate more sodium in that weekend than you might in a week eating at home.

It's water.

Give it a couple of days and it will be gone.

Fot that amount of weight gain in a short period of time, it is definately due to the fact that you are probably retaining water from the high levels of sodium. Unfortunately, even though you made healthy choices, even the healthy food at the food court will be very high in sodium. Up your water (even have it with lemon, natual diuretic) in the next few days and you will see a quick drop back to where you were.

I always gain what I call 'travel weight'. Usually after a couple days at home, back to my regular routine/workouts, it comes right off. Try not to despair until you give it some time.

This sounds like water weight to me to. I also get it whenever I travel.

Stay on plan, wait a few months and I bet you would love another trip to that mall. I love how I can hold up so much better for shopping! One of the great benefits to weight loss and conditioning!
