This is my upset face

It's just plain frustrating. I've been doing really well recently with my healthy eating and exercising plan. Last week, I worked out Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (and Sunday of this week) and the only unhealthy thing that I ate was when I went to T.G.I. Fridays with Colleen and her cast after her show and got a chicken club sandwich with a side salad. My sandwich did end up coming with fries too, but I only had a few and gave the rest to one of Colleen's cast mates. I ordered the salad in an attempt to be healthy, even though I know that most salads in restaurants are more unhealthy than many of the traditionally unhealthy foods. But it was a small salad that had iceberg lettuce (which is nutritionally empty), tomatoes, cucumbers, some cabbage, croutons, and honey mustard dressing (I figured that it would be better then ranch). I drank water and didn't have dessert.

However, when I weighed myself this morning (as I do every Monday after I wake up), I had gained 3 pounds. I weighed myself last Friday because I wanted to see if the extra workouts were working and I was 244 and then today I was 247. I just don't understand how this happened. I could get it if I went on a binge or ate a lot of food at T.G.I.Fridays or didn't exercise, but I did everything I could and I still gained weight. The only thing that I could think of is (and I know that this is gross) that I'm constipated. That is the only explanation that I can think of. There is no way that I gained 3 pounds in 3 days while being healthy. A pound equals 3500 calories, so to have gained three pounds, I would have had to consume 10,500 calories, as well as any that I burned from exercising. And I know that the whole point of this is to get healthy, but I would really like to lose some weight too. I know that being 250lbs and 5'6" is just not healthy, even without going by the BMI scale. I don't expect to be 110lbs, but I'd like to be under 200. I was around 200lbs when I was in Germany and I felt good.

The only thing I can do is keep going and see if it gets better next week. Hopefully, I will have lost some weight. I worked out today and I plan to do it every day this week and see if that helps. Fingers crossed.....
