I forgot to mention that it has been six months since I started my new LC life!

It has been a loopy week. The crazy cravings and hunger of last week have passed which is a relief. I have continued to lose this week despite the fact that I am"officially" maintaining. This morning I was 141lbs. My goal was 145lb and I will be happy if I stay under that but 135-140lb would make me feel very happy. I guess that right now I am eating in a way that I think that I can continue. Eventually, I won't lose any more weight and will level out. It might be now or a couple of pounds less but either way, I am satisfied!

Hannah and Sarah brought me wine...

Oh yes! I think I've got this LC thing down! I survived my amazing vacation and did better than I had hoped with my food intake and weight. And now...for a FULL report.

As you know...I reached goal just before leaving for my trip. I hit 145lbs which was awesome since it was my second goal after reaching 150lb earlier in the spring. So...the challenge was...how to hit the road for 3-4 weeks and NOT gain more than 5 lbs. That was it...just don't let me go over 150lbs.

In a (very large) nutshell...here's how it went. For some of the time, we camped....

I feel like a kid again...writing my first report of the school year! But the past three weeks of traveling have been so awesome and I just have to report on all my experiences...with food and without!

We hit the road late in the day and drove straight through Kansas (been there...done that...ALOT!!!) and started the day in South Dakota. Our first stop was the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD. It was fun to tour such a kampy, touristy spot along with all of the other people who don't know anything about corn except that it makes you fat.
We hit the Badlands around noon and...
