Ack! I'm up 3 pounds since Saturday. I am going to attribute it to water because I basically didn't pee yesterday! That was because I didn't drink enough clear water - not even 24 oz! Add to that restaurant food for lunch and dinner and it is the perfect storm for water retention - even though my choices were on point. (Can you tell I'm convincing myself not to flip out? Must look at this logically. Must look at this logically....)
A positive is that I've already had a full 24 oz of water plus coffee. My packed foods are all on plan and appropriate.
I am looking forward to tomorrow and counting macros and calories. I am hoping that I do not feel overly hungry. I can't imagine why I would physically, but there's always that damn head hunger ready to step in and get what it wants.
My thoughts and strength are with the parents dealing with difficult situations with their children.
Wishing you all a great start to this week.
Marvelous Monday to you all!
PS - I must check out these Sargento Balanced Breaks. Do they fly like donut holes? It sounds like a possibility.
I'm in the same boat! Went from 180 to 184.5 overnight this weekend and it's all water retention. Trying to clean it out of my system, but it's more stubborn than I expected. Keep drinking!

197. finally down a pound, been at 198 for..ev..errrr.
My 44-year-old son-in-law had a massive stroke last week and has been in ICU since. He was flown by helicopter to another hospital for emergency surgery, but the carotid re-clotted, so he will need brain surgery in 6 weeks. He would not survive the surgery if they did it sooner. He is talking and can move his left side again, which is huge. I have had my two young grandsons almost every night. They are scared, they saw him fall 5 times. We talk about it in private when they have questions and they are talking a lot. We went back to school shopping so they have no worries about that at least. My brothers have taken them a few days so I could go to work.
It has been a nightmare and a wakeup call to everyone in my family. My son-in-law is obese, eats a ton of fast food in addition to the home-cooked meals my daughter makes. My daughter found a bunch of crap wrappers and energy drink cans in his work truck.
The stress has been horrendous which triggers me to want to eat garbage, but I cannot. I will eat clean.
Best wishes for SIL and whole family! Good for you for recognizing that eating garbage won't help the situation.
