Day 72: 285 lbs

I lost three pounds yesterday, and this puts me at a new low weight. I obeyed all of my Diet Commandments (except that I wasn't bale to measure the portion of taco meat for dinner very carefully--I think I may have gone over), and I consumed 1,461 calories to stay within my quota of 1,500.

By the way, it has been 35 days (5 weeks) since I first hit 290 and the diet got stuck in the mud. On the track I had been following before, by now I would have lost another 24 pounds or so, and be somewhere around 265. So that's what a month has cost me.

But maybe I'm finally back on track, returning to the fundamentals. Two days isn't enough to make a trend, but it is encouraging that my body is finally shedding some of the water it had gained.

Today and tomorrow will be tricky, since I'm traveling for business. I'm going Down South, to the land of deep fried everything. Plus I won't be able to weigh myself tomorrow morning.
