Weekend Ruined

So this weekend started off ok, I had a busy day with the boys, that stated at 7am.  Breakfast on Saturday was the only healthy meal I ended up eating.  After eating relatively healthy and certainly correct portion sizes, I could not get over how icky I felt.  Now the reason for my lack of discipline was that I was not feeling good this weekend, thanks to a sinus infection.  However, I forgot that I am in control, not food!  I let the fact that I did not feel well take over and ate whatever I felt like.  The result was that the scales this morning showed me up 5 pounds from Friday.  Now I logged every ugly thing I ate, and I did not eat 5 pounds worth of food.  So I know that is water weight from the high sodium in the foods I ate.  So, I have to work harder to not let the way I feel over-power my decisions to eat healthy and responsibly.  I know this is a long journey and that I did get the weight I am overnight and I will not lose it overnight either.  What I can do is learn from every pitfall and every set back as well as the little victories.  This is a life-style change and not a "diet" and what's done is done.  Today I stated with a clean plate, and ended the day with over 350 calories remaining in my daily budget and completely satisfied.  I consider that a victory!
