Diet Comment

Even with the expectation that this weekend wouldn't follow any sane eating plan, I outdid myself. Yesterday, I ate nothing but pastries. About forty dollars worth, including not one, but two entire babkas (one apple, one chocolate), some savory pastries and two almond croissants. You can see the result in the chart. It's going to take a few days to get my weight back down to the 190s.

Net Loss/Gain:                     + 1.5 lbs.

Diet Comment

This weight gain is courtesy of the insanely high-calorie, high-carb, high-fat late lunch I had yesterday. Simple overeating. Given that I'll be eating at restaurants all weekend, I suspect a weight gain at Monday's weigh-in, too. 

Food Log

Breakfast
1:25pm: MELO (mushrooms, eggs, lox (smoked salmon) and onions). Roasted brussels sprouts. 

Lunch
6:15pm: Cottage cheese with cacao nibs, carrots and homemade mayonnaise.

Diet Comment

I regard this as an unfortunate 'loss' (in terms of my weight control progress), given I was totally on plan yesterday. I shouldn't weigh more today, but I do and I don't know why. Yes, it's still a good weight for me, and yes, it could just be normal, random variation. But it doesn't feel right.

Breakfast

If I had only eaten the bag of chips and hummus all day - not the case, I had a normal breakfast - I'd have gained weight. That I gained less than a pound? Miraculous. Still, I go into the weekend happy.
