Halloween weekend was a killer for me also. Just starting to feel normal again. 

I gained 3 pounds over the weekend.  I hate good pizza, I ate a half a pizza on Halloween (two slices before trick or treating and two slices when we got home from our friends house) and then drank several calorie dense craft beers and finished it off with helpings of candy and popcorn.  Will need to spend a little extra time at the gym and in the lap pool tonight.  Ha-ha.  

That's a calorie intake of an athlete in training, and "burn" of a couch potato.   Reverse the graph and you will get there.

Thanksgiving & Christmas are coming.

"The University of Missouri estimates that male athletes generally need more than 22.7 calories per pound of body weight each day, or more than 3,800 calories per day for a 170-pound man."

Lets say in between ;) 

Yep I plan on reducing it back to where I want it. It was only 4 days, so not a killer. 

Stay strong through the holidays!   Don't let the turkey beat you.

Mmmmm.... turkey...

Actually, it's not the turkey that is bad. It's the stuffing, potatoes, the casserole part of green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, etc.
