A little annoyed (but fine)

It's been over six weeks of stabilization now.  I've been able to stay in the zone, with but one steak day (not as fun as it sounds).  I have scarbs (simple carbs) a couple of times a week; I plan it for a special occasion.  As my dietarily conscious Sea Monster friend once said, and I paraphrase, I'm not going to waste my scarbs on Rice Krispies. 

Indeed.

So, when I have them, I plan ahead, and it's something special.  The other night, I went light all day.  For me it's more chemistry than calories, but I do watch them.  So, as I was saying, light all day.  Even with the scarbs I had with dinner (one cupcake and half a potato), I was well under my calorie "limit" for the day.

I. GAINED. TWO. POUNDS.  Seriously?  Seriously.  Isn't that annoying?  It really bothers me.  Yeah, so it does go away, but not quickly.  I have to drink a lot of water the next day and have no scarbs at all, or else it's all over.

What's with the water retention, people?  Thoughts?
