Down another couple pounds, but I'm not happy about it. I've gone off my plan quite a bit this past week, so I fear the loss is just water weight. While intake was < expenditure, I ate too many undocumented carbs. On the other hand, the scale would have never touched where it does now as recently as two weeks ago.
Another reason I was hoping for a larger loss is that I'm going away for the weekend with the guys and it is going to be a monumental task to resist the peer pressure. Not in a teenager, all-the-cool-kids-are-doing-it sort of way, but when the beer and booze starts flowing and food is ordered, my inhibitions are sure to lower and I just feel the urge to partake!! The key is to partake less than I used to.
One of my best friends and I are YUGE (with a capital "Y") baseball fans and for about 15 years we have been talking about getting out to Cape Cod, where there is an amateur league that extends invitations to some of the best college players in the country. 1 out of 6 Major Leaguers played ball on the Cape. He turned 40 a few months ago and his wife enlisted me to create sort of a subterfuge for her gift. So I planned a trip for us and 4 other buddies for the Cape League All-Star Game, golf, jokes, libation, and whatever-other-boys-will-be-boys-Tom Foolery-strikes-our-fancy (within the confines, of course, of marriage vows...for three of us...) for 2 1/2 days, sans wives and kids.
Here's my deal. I know I'm on a journey for a better self, and I'm not remotely close to where I want to be, let alone need to be. So throwing that all away for 3 days is just plain stupid. I will track as much as I can, knowing that we will be eating out a lot. I also plan on getting up a little earlier so I can either go for a morning walk or use the gym (We're bracing for another heat wave in the Northeast this weekend). We will also be playing golf, and while I expect we will be getting carts, I will walk much of the course. All things considered I think I'll be able to keep things moderately in check.

Drink lots of water! Especially before you are faced with a pizza or beer temptation. Put the food down between bites and eat slowly. Little tricks can help in these situations. Good luck!

With a heat wave coming, drinking water is a must, especially on the golf course. As I've gotten older (and bigger), I'm drinking less and less beer. I love the taste, not the bloat. I'm a scotch/vodka guy (Though not at the same time). Thanks, 64.

Good luck with your plan, but remember, "Best laid plans of mice and men..."
I welcome you and friends to Massachusetts.

It sounds like you've set yourself a great challenge! Use your competitive spirit to make the best choices you can. There's always something on the menu that fits your plan. It also sounds like an absolutely fantastic weekend!

I love the Cape Cod league games - I am originally from Boston. Eat but cut teh portions in half - that will help!

Thanks for the advice and support. Quite appreciated. I'm originally from Central Mass, but I will be, more or less, getting to the Cape by driving due East through Rhody. No opportunity to stop by the parents' house. No worries though, as we're headed back up next weekend too, but I'll write about that next weigh-in.
