Day 23: 300 lbs

I dropped one pound yesterday. We had a neighborhood block party, and I was very proud of myself for not indulging in any of the various treats, chips, dips, or high-fat salads available. Instead, I decided ahead of time exactly what I was going to eat and stuck to it.

Tonight will be a similar challenge, as we're going to have dinner at my mother's house. Wish me luck.

Today was also the last weigh-in until Thursday, since I'm leaving tonight for a business trip. Again, wish me luck. Temptation is always everywhere on these boondoggles. My tentative strategy is to find a convenience store which sells prepackaged sandwiches (with nutrition labels!) and stick to that for the three days. I don't know if that will be practical or not.
