Ok, so I screwed up this weekend. I went totally off track this weekend ended up gaining 4.4 lbs. UGH!!!! :x

I am back on track today though. I know this is one of the many hurdles I have to overcome and learn how to deal with. When I look back, it really wasn't worth it. I just need to keep telling myself that and hopefully one of these days I will actually believe it.

Smer... just get back to careful low carbing. Most of that 4.4 will be from water. You've probably restored your glycogen stores by eating carbs. It takes 3 or 4 grams of water to keep one gram of glycogen stored in your tissues. Get back into ketosis, use up that glycogen and the water (weight) will go away. Please don't consider the choices you made this weekend as a failure... or a weakness. Creating a new you, a new way of eating, takes time, patience and PRACTICE. No one is able to just turn off one way of eating and turn on another. You'll have stumbles along the way. I heard this once and it made great sense to me...

It's not what you do 10% of the time that determines success, it's what you do 90% of the time.

So... chin up and let's get you back on the straight and narrow, ok?

Thanks Tril! I am back on today and really trying to stay strict. I am going to try very hard to only drink water (for liquids) and to stay away from the sugar-free candies and atkins bars, etc. for now. I need to lose what I gained and get back on track. I really want to see 199.9 and I was only about 5 lbs away until this weekend.

Back on the horse!!! We are going to jump these hurdles and make it to the finish line!!!!
