Okay, obviously I am not happy with that.  But, you know, one has to look at the big picture or you'll give up.  And, frankly, if I am 210 pounds and I fluctuate here and there, I don't care.  That's the price you pay for indulging.  I don't like seeing the scale up 3 pounds at this point, though.  Not good.  So next week I'll really hit the diet discipline hard and I do have one big ace in my pocket: running and biking.  After battle knee pain most of last year, my knee feels great this year and the weather finally appears to be lurching towards warmth so I expected in the weeks ahead to be doing lots of running and biking (I think Aster will love the bike seat) and I expect that, combined with diet, to keep my weight heading down.  So this was an unfortunate step back, but I think it's just a mild one.

My donut downfall

My cola conundrum

So, what were the culprits?  Rachel got us this soda, a store-brand cola with real sugar.  SIGH, that means real calories, though, too.  It was good. I broke down and had a can of it while I was working yesterday.  Not good.  Also, someone in the family had a birthday and these donuts from Bear Creek Donuts in Miamisburg, Ohio kept calling my name.  SIGH, Fruity Pebbles on a doughnut, isn't that genius?
