A weekend miracle?

So I did not exercise for 3 days (somewhat of a record for me). That is due to 1) injured my foot in a kickboxing class (not even on a kick or anything, just during footwork exercise) and 2) I have no bathroom -- major bathroom repair put my shower out of commission and I can't run if I can't shower afterwards. So a bad combination.

However, I did go out.
Day 1: for an italian dinner (pasta and pizza) than 2 GIANT cones from the Big Gay Ice Cream shop, beer, yuca fries. Basically, a giant binge.
Day 2: My son's 3rd birthday -- 3 slices of heavy cream laden cake, full dinner, breakfast and lunch as usual.
Day 3: Donut, usual lunch, large 1,500 dinner and a yogurt snack.

And all of that with no exercise. And the scale shows.... I'm still at my lowest weight! Now how does one explain that?
I am delighted, of course. But really, how? I'd love to be able to recreate this.

    I'd say be glad it happened but don't push your luck, lol.

    Sometimes like sticking to the same exercises, the body adapts to a strict lifestyle. When introduced to something new, it reacts differently (like doing a new exercise and getting sore). Some chalk it up to carb refeed after a long bout of dieting. Of course I know if you continued to eat that way, weight regain will end up being the result.
