It seems diets and vacations don't mix well. On July 2, my sons went to my in-laws for a week, and at the end of that week my wife and I took our first vacation of the summer -- four days in Southern Illinois wine country. Then it was back in the office for four days and then four days in St. Louis for a family reunion.
My peak of weight loss was the morning the boys left, July 2, when I was down 31 pounds. I've discovered my weight loss is a fragile thing, and when we returned from St. Louis, I was back to the point where I'd lost 22 pounds. So we're moving back to phase 1 of the diet. (NO CARBS) We're not actually on phase 1 yet, because I'm too cheap to throw out the various breads that we have, but we ARE being really strict about portion control.
And it has helped. . . I've lost a pound a day since returning from St. Louis, and I'm back to 25 pounds total weight lost. Karen is also catching up to me . . . her peak weight lost was 22 pounds, and she's back down to 21 pounds lost.
Can't wait for the heat wave to break so we can get some outdoor exercise.
