5 Pounds in 5 Weeks: Over the Holidays

I've been yo-yo-ing between 155-160 during all of November. My original goal was to get to 145 by Christmas, but I don't think that is going to happen. So I'll settle with 150 and *hope* to reach it early.

Yeah, that figures. A really good loss followed by a bounceback. At least it was a small one and I did still make my goal for this week, so I'm going to just be happy with that and keep plugging away at it.

I just found this challenge. I’m starting 2 days late on November 26.
Starting weight: 184.0

November 27: 187.8
November 28: 185.6
November 29: 183.6
November 30: 182.4 Thanksgiving Dinner Feast tonight with family. I expect a gain on the scale tomorrow.
December 01: 187.4 I honestly ate child sized portions but I guess it adds up. My best figure is under 2300 but I did quick calories on MFP at 2350. I burned almost 2600 so I’m not sure I understand the gain when I know there was less calories in than out, but that’s carbs for ya! Okay so I am supposed to lose 5 pounds by Christmas and I gain 5 pounds overnight just by eating at maintenance! So I have my work cut out for me but I’m not a quitter so here goes nothing!
December 02: (Goal for 1st week: 183.0) Actual weight: 183.2 Yay! TMI potty helped tremendously as it had been a few days. So I have about made goal afterall and am pleased as punch! Now, to keep up the momentum!
December 03: 183.6 This must be a normal fluctuation. Everything was perfect yesterday-Calories, Carbs & Increased exercise. It will show up sooner or later because diligence always pays off.
December 04: 182.6 Very happy with the 1 lb loss. Travel & food tomorrow. Looking forward to all but the scale on the 6th!
December 05: Travel Day. Sitting during long drives. Shopping. Restaurants. However, what goes up must come down so no worries though I will dread the scale tomorrow. Yesterday was sloppy joes, baked beans & candy corn at a friend’s house. I should have ate it without the bun but I was starving.

Overslept through something like 10 alarms this morning (found my phone under my pillow 😆) so ran out of the house 15 minutes later without weighing in. Still felt the need to post something, so here we are.
I've been keeping apples and blueberries on hand for sugar cravings so I don't go into full on cake withdrawals.
Does anyone else ever feel like they're "cheating" when they eat an apple and a handful of blueberries throughout the day? I call that straight up insanity, and it's the type of thinking (when I believe it) that pushes me straight into gelato.2 -
