Three more pounds gone

Total weight lost: 15 pounds

Vacations are NEVER good for novice fitness people, and for people like me who are trying to stick to healthy diets. Next time, I've got to find any way I can to stay active.

Also, a few times, I've shoved some food in my mouth between meals when I've gotten quite hungry. What I should have done (and I know this works) is drink a huge glass of water or two. That'll quiet my stomach for a while. Or, I can find some activity to get my mind off food, which also works. We also need more fibrous fruit in the house, which makes an acceptable snack. Self-control does not develop overnight.

Hopefully this isn't a plateau, and I'll boost my weight loss over the next seven days.

Thanks for all the support, everyone!
