Any advice is helpful. Before I had my son I ran 3 miles at least 4 days a week and ran 5ks monthly.

Ladies what do you do during T.O.M.
As far as weigh in. Do you weigh and log as normal? Do you weigh and not log? Do you just avoid the scale? Last month and weighed and didn't log (gained 2 lbs) I weighed after T.O.M. left and lost it, then proceeded to lose another 2 lbs. Do you have cravings and what do you do?
