According to my scale I am up 5 pounds from last week. I was on plan all of last week, minus a day at the fair where I tried to make wise choices and what I did eat that I knew was bad calorie wise, I shared it with the entire family (think a family of 5 eating one cheese steak). The fair food was also countered with walking around the fair for 11 hours, broken only by sitting about 4 times for 15ish minutes to feed the baby. So although fried veggies should be a no no, I'm sure I walked off the few of them I ate.
I now have a cold, I noticed yesterday that my face looked really puffy, and again today it's quite puffy and even redish. Just touching my cheeks while sitting here I can feel the puffiness.
So my question is, does a cold make you hold onto water like crazy?
