Had the family celebration yesterday & I'll give myself a B+. I did go on the scale when I got up but choose not to record the weight. I am up but I am calling it out as a false positive. 1st, My eating & drinking times were way off my schedule not finishing my last drink until 10pm. But weighed in at a typical early time. I woke up feeling full & with a headache. I know my body well enough to know the moment I woke up it was an insulin/sugar reaction & things won't be normal. So the good and the bad of the bbq were:
I didn't eat any bday cake. Not a taste. I didn't eat the coleslaw/raisin/sunflower seed/ramen noodle slaw. I had my own bowl of slaw with my zero carb dressing. Butttt..my 2 ounces of zinfandel turned into 6..then there was a flute of champagne (which I would not have had if I realized it was a very sweet wine vs champagne I expected) and then late in the evening I had an 8oz glass of margarita. Again..sweeter drink than expected so I cut with carbonated water, but it still had an 8oz base.
I was tempted to write nothing today as it feels like a fail I need to shake off first, but hopefully as always shared experiences are helpful.
For the believers in CICO its once again proof its not as simple as the gurus pushing that philosophy online believe. I intentionally had a ton of activity yesterday and had at least a 1200 calorie deficit yet I gained weight. And "water weight" as an explanation is clearly too simple. I drank no more or less liquid than any other day so there's that. The big difference from mu usual day. CARBS. Its always the carbs & the sugar that cause the problem in reaction with insulin.
In any case, yesterday is just a good reason in the end to offset with a fasting period. I'll start with 3 days...and see how it goes from there! I finally have a good stretch of time before the next treat situation. 3 weeks to daughters birthday.
Finally, on a positive note...my first ever brisket...was a huge success and I will make it again! I took over a 4lb cooked weight brisket and it was demolished! I knew it was a hit when I saw even the women go back for 2nds (My daughter never eats seconds & her Mom generally doesn't enjoy beef). A great feeling accomplishment.
