Week 5 wrap up... So, week five was different. I was out of town for 8 days - went to a work conference in Florida, then stayed for 2 extra days. I had very good intentions, but ended up not following my nutrition plan. I tried exercising, but also did not do as well as I could have. It was hot! I dreaded stepping on the scale when I returned but did it anyway. The scale showed 203+, I knew it was not possible to gain so much so fast, so I assumed at least part of it would be water weight (I was right, thank goodness). It went to 200.6 in just a couple of days, but that was still an upsetting number...

I stocked up on some favorite foods after I returned.
