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.

definitely sounds like water
hang in there<3

I agree with the above. Keep your chin up!

(BTW, isn't that mall just awesome! I live like 20 minutes from there -- I love it there!!!)

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.

Yeap I agree with the ladies above me....make sure to get all of your water in and watch your sodium at home It should be gone soon!

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.

thanks guys i really hope your right.

And yes that mall is great. However my legs are telling me if I ever go back in the next year they are going to dissown the rest of my body lol.

Niekka,

Figure that by Thursday you will know the real impact of the visit.

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!
