I've been doing alright. I haven't been WATCHING what I eat, so much as I have been LIMITING what I eat. I've lost about five pounds.

I am going on vacation from July 14th - July 23rd. We will be camping the whole time, so I sure hope I am able to exersize a little, do some walking, swimming, playing games while I'm there and not eat too badly. It's hard to eat healthy up north, that's for sure! I'll have to limit myself to maybe ONE smore, not two or three like I'd usually have... I'll have to maybe pass on desert and not get second helpings. Eat slow so I realize I'm full... no food past 8 and small ice cream cones, not larges! I want to see if I can pull an entire week and a half... my WHOLE vacation... without a soda!! I need to stop drinking soda... but man... Diet Pepsi is my security blanket!! I'll try though. I haven't had any soda today. Go me!

Keep going guys, I know we can all do this.
