Too much sleep is a bad thing?

I went to bed last night at 9:40 and slept until 5:00 AM (which is the absolute latest I can sleep and not be late for work).  I'm still tired.  Some would say it's because I got too much sleep.

Anyway, yesterday was weigh in day.  Not only did I gain back the 4 pounds I lost at last week's weigh in, I gained an additional 3!  That's right, since Sunday morning I've gained 7 pounds.  Sheesh...

My wife is concerned that my thyroid isn't functioning properly.  We have someone on both sides of the family with that issue (that we know of) and she thinks that may be my problem.

I don't know what to think.  I walk and work out, though this week I've missed a few.  Also, for 3 days last weekend I ate with abandon.  Frankly, all day yesterday I didn't eat tll that great because of the weigh in.  I went over goal by about 800 calories (my goal went back up with the weight gain to 2527, and we wen to Chili's for dinner... tortilla chips, guacamole and fajitas are not exactly low cal).

So what do I do?  Anyone have any suggestions?  I know I didn't do that well last weekend but frankly if 3 days worth of mistakes is going to make me gain that much, I can never make a mistake.  That is too much pressure.  Maybe.
