What will Wednesday bring?

For the first time since starting this diet (a whole 28 days ago!) I'm looking at Wednesday morning with a sense of trepidation. In previous weeks I've expected to lose a few lbs but following my weekend excess I'm really not sure what to expect tomorrow morning when I climb on board the scales for my weigh-in.

Clearly things can go one of three ways. 1) My body responds to Chinese, Pizza and Enchiladas by adding some numbers to last week's reading. 2) Equilibrium, things stay the same and I'm thankful to have got away with a couple of bad days. 3) Something bizarre happens and I manage to have lost a lb or two despite breaking from the diet.

I'd certainly settle for option 2, but I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning for the outcome. Whatever way it goes, I'm pleased that after my temporary deviation I appear to have got things back under control. Two days of discipline is nothing to shout about, but better than than two further days of reverting to pre-January form.
