Yikes, that wasn't good. I thought yesterday might not go well and it didn't. I had 3 meetings at restaurants with people for my job yesterday and that led me to eating way too much, and not just at the meetings. Last night I also indulged myself as I ate like I hadn't had a meal in weeks. I knew I was going to pay a price on the scale this morning, but I didn't know it was going to be such a big price to pay. The good news is that I didn't get a dessert for myself at Cafe Latte. That is a major victory in and of itself.

So what did I learn from this experience? Well, I should try to not have 3 meetings at restaurants in one day. That would be a good start. Then, I need to really work hard to not eat after 5 p.m., especially when I have eaten a lot prior. It's as if I don't have an "off" switch when I eat at night. Ugh. I need to do a better job of controlling myself. Eating sensibly during the day will help that.

Today is going to be a difficult day and there isn't any way around that. We have a wedding to go to tonight and it is going to be a lot of fun. I don't think the meal after the wedding is going to be a buffet, but I need to be prepared for that possibility. (Buffets are my mortal enemy.) After having gained 1.7 pounds in one day, I really hope to not put on weight again today. We'll see what happens and we'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning!

Wilderness Adventures. 260.7 pounds. -0.8 pounds today, - 0.8 pounds this week, - 5.3 pounds this month, - 19.3 pounds since May 1, - 72.3 pounds from my all-time high of 333 pounds.

I spent the previous 4 days canoeing and portaging in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with family and friends. I burned a ton of calories and I expected to lose weight. That might have happened, had I not also eaten like a king. The 2 people in our party of 5 that planned and cooked the food made food that was both delicious as abundant. I don't know how many calories I burned, but it was a lot. I ate an equal amount of calories and perhaps lost 1 pound over the entire 4 days we were in the wilderness. This trip was magical and I don't regret eating like I did, but now that I am home it is time to lose weight. Today is going to be a day of transition of getting back to my normal life. It is going to be difficult as I don't have a plan. I don't know what today holds, which is scary. We'll see what happens today and we'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning!

I Need To Get Out Of The 260s! 261.5 pounds. + 0.4 pounds today, - 1.2 pounds this week, - 4.5 pounds this month, - 18.5 pounds since May 1, - 71.5 pounds from my all-time high of 333 pounds.

Well, at least I didn't gain a whole pound. Last night I took my daughter out on a little date and we went on a drive to Stillwater, then we drove to our favorite restaurant in St. Croix Falls called Poco Loco. The food there is delicious. I was outside of my eating window as I ate after 5 p.m. I also didn't exercise as I'm trying to have the soreness in the IT band in my left leg go away. Finally, I didn't have a good night of sleep. All of this combined to make me gain weight, but not as much as I thought I would all things considered. Today should be a better day. I have a full day of work and if I can keep from eating after 5 p.m. perhaps I'll lose weight. I won't be exercising and I hope to get a good night of sleep. We'll see what happens today and we'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning!
