Good morning botts:

I am back from vacation and I weighed 207 lbs. this morning.  I gained 2 lbs. on vacation so I am bot today.  I need to get to onederland.  I see it in my near future.  Spring is a couple days away.  Next month I am going with my husband on business. I have many reasons to stick to the diet.  I brought my Mayo clinic food pyramid check sheet with me and it did help a lot.  I have to clean the downstairs today for exercise.  I would like to swim at the gym this afternoon.  I hope all of us have a healthy day today.  Tri

My food plan today:

B: low carb/calorie bagel, egg and rf cheese

S: grapefruit,  ranch Greek yogurt, raw veggies

L: veggie soup and Lean Cuisine ravioli

S: frozen fruit and Greek yogurt smoothie and Slimfast potato chips

D: beef, potatoes, carrots

S: Nutrasystem chocolate chip cookies, protein cocoa

Congratulations on doing such a good job while on vacation!! Making the right food choices is never easy when you are away from home. The closer I get to my goal weight the more I realize that portion control and every carb I eat makes a HUGE difference! So that is what I'm working on. Smaller portions and keeping track of every bite. Once the warm weather gets here (and stays) I know the extra calories from getting out of the house more will help as well :) Best of luck!
