I had a few days of eating a little more - one day was more than planned, we went out to eat and I didn't plan to get dessert. But then they gave us a complimentary (and very yummy!) bread pudding. That was Christmas night, so it was fine to eat a little more.

Now we have birthday cake laying around the house, so I've been good and tried to just have a small piece each night (but I have to shift my other calories around, and I'm finally getting back to normal). My weight in 2 or 3 days jumped by 4 pounds, and hasn't yet returned to normal - which is weird, but I know it will by my keeping up my usual eating.

I didn't feel good at all eating so much that one day (or on the other days I ate a little more - but those weren't too bad overall). I can eat some junk, but I'd have skipped the Sprite at dinner for Christmas (I drink very little soda) if I knew there would be dessert coming!

A happy and healthy New Year! Especially the healthy part.
