Day 185: 268 lbs

I did a reasonable job on my diet yesterday, and lost four pounds. I've been retaining water the past few days (I can tell because my wedding ring has gotten tighter), but some of that seems to be coming off. The main problem I had on my diet last night was not carefully measuring the portion size at dinner.

Today's big diet challenge was the weekly lunch meeting, where it can be very tempting to take too much from the pot-luck. My strategy was to stick to a simple sandwich and some salad, and I succeeded. If I can make it the rest of the afternoon without breaking down and snacking, I should be OK.
