• Did a few unplanned outings over the weekend which resulted in Burger King (BK Big Fish meal) and lunch out with J (sandwich amd home-made fries – yummy!  AND I did have my planned pizza/wings on Sunday night.
• Pretty sure that the gain I’m seeing has more to do with sodium and the eating out as well as PMS – planning a "good" week to get back down again.
