Brush it off, don't beat yourself up, and just get right back on track. Don't be like "oh well I already blew my week" or something.. get right back on track today. 2 days in a lifetime of change, or a 2 lb fluctuation in the long run will be nothing provided you're still sticking to your good eating habits a large majority of the time
Also celebrate your good choices. If you were going to drink soda, at least you went for the diet kind over the sugar loaded calorie heavy stuff. That's a win, even if a smaller one.
Had a baby shower out of town and although I did well with all the temptation I did have a few chips and some dip. Then we went up to the cottage for the night and I indulged in some drinks (with diet pop) and the next thing I know I'm snacking on cheese and kalbossa. I didn't follow my diet at all and took in too many carbs and not nearly enough protein, not to mention the lack of fruits and veggies. The weekend of fun ended up costing me 2 pounds. Although I'm not sure how it resulted in a 2 pound gain. My understanding is that you need to eat 3500 calories to gain a pound. I KNOW I didn't eat close to 7000 calories to gain 2 pounds. I'm really hoping it is just water weight from too much sodium and it will come off quickly now that I'm back on track. Good news is that I now know how hard it is going to be to stick to my diet on the long weekends at the cottage when summer rolls around.
