I guess drinking a lot of water before my last weigh in did have it’s benefits!

Today, when I weighed in, I was shocked when the nurse told me I had lost about another 8 lbs- for a total of 26.8 lbs lost.  So, last week I probably lost 4lbs, but it didn’t show up on the scale because of all the water I had to drink, and this week I probably lost about the same, so it looks like 8 in one week.

What a boost of confidence!  I’m definitely gonna need it this upcoming weekend since we’re going on vacation (to Alabama and Georgia) for 4 days.  I don’t know about you, but junk food and road trips go hand in hand for me.  I plan to do Atkins while on this trip since the diet I’m on is so restrictive that it will be hard to find the right foods.

So, my goal this week is to simply not eat any junk food while on vacation.  If I can manage to resist temptation while on a road trip, I think I can do anything.  Wish me luck!
