Wow! I'm not sure, but I don't think I've ever gained two kilos in two days before. It feels like the first time. I wasn't expecting to see a weight gain after yesterday's eating, but I'm not taking any chances, and I'm going to attempt a low-carb, on-plan day today.

Diet Comment

Wow! When you eat a whole bag of potato chips and a whole tub of hummus as a midnight snack, after a day with a significant amount of high sugar foods - dried fruit and chocolate peanut butter cups - you gain weight. Sometimes my ancillary bad habits, in this case whiskey and pot in larger-than-usual amounts, makes you happy to do dumb stuff.
