the last 5 days were a wash as far as staying on plan... but I still would not say a complete wash. I was on plan probably 90% of the time, was had 2 meals off at other relatives house that were sort of out of my control as to what I ate. And I did taste a couple of things I made, but stayed away most of the time from indulging. But I will say that the sodium content was HIGH and my body sure has taken the brunt of eating too much sodium... My legs, ankles and feet look like they have been blown up twice their size. Seriously, I have never seen my legs look like this, not even at 400 pounds. I'm a little worried actually.
But I am giving myself 3 days of drinking nothing but water, and healthy sodium free eating and see if they go down. If not, I am getting them checked out. It's scary and they feel like they're going to pop. The only shoes I can get on are my sneakers.
So back to serious, and I mean serious, to get anything off that I may have put on while company was here, and moving toward losing 20 pounds by Christmas... but I am not weighing for a week, even though I at least know I have gained some fluid by the way my legs look... I made the decision not to weigh because I think it might turn me in the opposite direction right now. I don't need to see it on the scale, I see it in my legs, so there's no denial here. I just don't need to rub my face in it. 
So down to my plan.
coffee, splenda, creamer
high fiber tortilla filled with scrambled eggbeaters, ff cheese, onions, bell pepper
apple
high fiber tortilla filled with fresh veggies, tuna
orange
grilled portabella mushrooms on whole wheat bun with onion, tomato, lettuce with grilled veggies on the side
100 oz water - at least
