Bleh, not very impressive this week... But considering I had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory Tuesday night with co-workers, ordered Italian take-out at lunch once during the week, ate at Boston Market with Carol after work on Friday and then went to On the Border with my friend Mark Saturday night, I should be thankful that I didn't gain a million pounds.

However, this does prove the "soundness" of my overall eating plan. Even when I'm "bad" I can still post some kind of loss. (I tried to eat healthy everywhere I went, and probably succeeded each time except for Boston Market).

This week I'm trying to be good and stick to my regimen. And I keep reminding myself I'm eating for life, that this isn't a diet, and there will be peaks and valleys (plus, ladies, it's that lovely week to retain water... you all know what I mean).
