Not bad! 262.7 pounds. + 0.2 pounds today, - 2.6 pounds this week, - 3.3 pounds this month, - 17.3 pounds since May 1, - 70.3 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!

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!
