I know, why do we eat so much during the holidays? I’m convinced that a big part of it is nerves. Getting things right when you’re the host, getting them right when you’re not. Family can always be stressful. And women always, I think, try for perfection. All stressful. I’m a former personal trainer and a yoga teacher. I agree with some of what your trainer is saying, some not. The one think I absolutely agree with is not paying so much (or any) attention to the scale. I say go by how you feel and then, how your clothes are feeling. Thanks.

I know it is depressing to see that you gained some weight but like you said when it is turning into muscle that’s a huge difference! I am following your progress and I think you are doing a fantastic job! Congratulations!

You’ll like My Fitness Pal bits also like my weight loss conscience. It will tell you if you are going over recommended salt, sugars, fat, etc for the day.

Yes, Passover is hell for so many reasons. The weight gain and bloating feeling are just a few. My son asked me today which was worse, Passover or Yom Kippur. We don’t agree on much but we agree that Passover is WAY worse.
