Last week, I said:
I’m afraid to say that next week will most likely show a gain unless I manage to eat pretty dang healthy while my wife and I spend 4 days up in the Northwest with one of her nieces. Gotta get me some REAL FRESH salmon. If I can have that for four days straight, I may be able to post a loss next week and get my 9th “5-pound star” at the meeting.
I managed to do everything I set out to do. I ate healthier choices than I normally would on a vacation, I had salmon all four days (broiled fresh salmon one day, smoked salmon with eggs for breakfast two days, and one day a salmon burger), and I got my 9th 5-pound star! I passed the 45 pound mark and have less than 5 pounds to go to get in my first goal of 50 pounds by summer.
Now I have to focus on making better choices these next few weeks because I have less than a month until summer. I can do this!
I will have to update the food list below after I’ve gone through my travel journal to confirm everything I ate. The journal came in handy for recording all of the experiences we shared, the funny comments made and the wonderful food we enjoyed. It also helps me recall everything so I can post my thoughts on my blog and not forget some of the really cool stuff that happened.
