Road trip victory -

I was on a road trip from Tue-Sat. Before I left, I was struggling - weight loss was flat for many days.

So naturally I was concerned about taking a road trip - where would I eat? when? what could I eat? dinner at conference? etc

To my surprise and delight - I came back and had lost 4 pounds!

I found that Cracker Barrel was actually a pretty good place to eat for someone 3-4 weeks out. I could choose the vegetable platter and had some good choices: applesauce, cottage cheese, green beans, mashed potatoes.

Also, Ruby Tuesday's salad bar had good choices - cottage cheese, edamame, garbanzo beans, parmesan cheese, diced ham, beets, etc.

Kept the water consumption up - and avoided all the bad stuff - worked out pretty good!

My big emotional victory - went from 267 (highest weight) - thru the 260s, 250s, 240s, and now am in the 230s ... finally. The farther I get from that top weight the happier I am.

Also, have gone from size 24 jackets and slacks to 18-20 jackets and 22 slacks. It makes a big difference already.:thumbup:

Keep it up!!!! that is great!
