Yeah, so like... that's what meals consisting of cookies and candy bars will do to me.
But that was so Wednesday ago! Today I enjoyed healthful, real food in reasonable portions. I'm looking forward to some rest and extra movement this weekend.

November 25: 176.2. I'm happy that I was up .08 pounds on the very first day for several reasons: It's important to see that weight fluctuates on a daily basis, so we're after trends not one day's change. Also, an "up" day on the scale does not derail us; anybody who reaches their goal has numerous "up" days along the way. All is well.

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.

I'm pumped about a big project I've started, though it's gonna require that I work through the weekend. It also means that I'll mainly be laying around on my couch. I'll have to make a point of taking time for some exercise other than just running up and down the stairs to do laundry.
