Semi-off diet question

[Firecracker]

Hey ya'll:

Just got back from a 5 day out of town business trip. I only worked out 1 day and stuck to my diet 90% of the time, no alcohol. Hardly any water, more carbs than usual.

I feel SO SO SO bloated and gross. Before I left I was doing AWESOME and felt AWESOME!

My question is, how long do you think it'll take before I look and feel like I did BEFORE I left? Ughh...I feel SO fat! Maybe a week before I bounce back?

Give yourself a few days -- your body is probably just absorbing all the carbs. It will settle down soon. If you didn't drink much water you are probably a little puffy and if you flew -- that always makes me feel puffy. Just drink lots of water, back down on the carbs, watch the salt & you'll be fine!

Thanks Sassy! I'm hoping it'll only be a couple of days. I have a wedding to go to next week and want to feel 100% again.

Yeah, I did fly, about 10 hours in a plane all together. I didn't know that could have an effect either. Sheesh, I'm all outta wack!

Thank you for the reply!

Planes dehydrate you, you're sitting for extended periods of time, the air is sorta stale, I don't drink much water because I hate using the bathrooms. I always feel like crap when I"ve been flying.

Last yr I was supposed to make 3 diff trips to India from MN. Thank god they all got cancelled...

I know how you feel. I hate feeling like I've messed up and I can't wait to get back on track. It shouldnt' take you very long though, you'll be ok!!

Hmm scale means nuthing ..
weight can fluctuate with water etc.. especially since we are women

I know CC, but sheesh! Getting those 3 pounds off took FOR-EVER! And to see them back, well I flipped of course and was in a bad mood all night!

I've been downing 2 gallons water/day with Dandy hoping to get rid of whatever it is ASAP!
