So ... I went on a weekend vacation with friends.
Try as I might, I ended up pigging out with the gang and dogged some nachos, a chicken/cheese quesadilla, half a plate of cheese fries, baked cheesy ziti, and four beers.
Over a two-day period (Sat & Sun).
I stepped on the scale this morning and was NOT happy to see Saturday morning's weight of 268.0 jump to 273.0.
Now, I know I was BAD BAD BAD this weekend. I'm not even going to sugar-coat it.
But ... 5 lbs in two days?? REALLY??
I was fully expecting to see 1-3 lb gain. Not FIVE!
I was griping on the phone with a friend of mine and she suggested that most of the weight was probably due to sodium and to give it a few days to resolve. But I'm curious. Does sodium influence the scale to that high of an extent?
This is, historically, the time when I quit trying to lose weight. All today today, I've kept repeating to myself that I will not quit. Not this time.
Anyway --- Thoughts would be greatly appreciated regarding sodium, food splurging, etc. Hope everyone else had a better food weekend than I did!
