17 steps forward...

...7 steps back.

Still hanging in here, but just barely. 

Still making better choices than I was, but just barely. I think that it is summertime and my schedule is naturally busier--more gardening, more chores in the heat--is all that is keeping my weight "off."

So, I've just read back through all of the posts in an attempt to motivate myself to get back to a stricter regimen. Time to get back to making better choices. In the end, I like the food better, and I feel better physically, and mentally, afterwards.

Everyone is cheating "just a little bit," and I find myself feeding off of that. Our group salads have turned into more meat, less salad. Full-fat cheeses and high-fat dips [guilty as charged] on our low-fat recipes. These things make a difference...clearly. I've put 7 lbs back on.

Swimsuit season, we went out on the boat yesterday. I was wishing for those 7 to begone, and reflecting that 6-8 more would probably be gone by now if I'd stuck to it.

Well, no time for remorse. Back to logging, and watching calorie totals, and more club soda and less wine, and Sunday food prep. 

I am now only at 10 pounds one time.

Rats.
