Diet take 3-Running out of steam

Hey loyal followers, here is my thin Monday report! :) 145 lbs this morning. Ha ha, it's gratifying to weigh yourself first thing in the morning after I've used the bathroom. That's when I am at my lightest! :D But that's what I did when I started with my 153 lbs, so all's fair and total weight lost in about two weeks - 8 lbs. My pants fit much better!
Here's the running out of steam part - I was really tempted by brownies last night, I couldn't stay away and had a bite. My willpower is starting to crumble... :) Only thing helping me is looking forward to being back at home in two days now (I leave early Wed. morning) and enjoying the local foods I've missed. My plan for the 3 weeks of vacation is to watch the sugar intake, watch my portion size, but enjoy the food fully! Then, if needs be, I can do two more weeks of Phase 1 when I get back.

Diet take 2

148.8 lbs this (Tuesday) morning, which means...... 4.2 lbs down, tadaaaaa! I have been very good, I even survived through 4. of July festivities without breaking the rules! ( And there were moments when I really felt I needed a sugary boost to survive another moment, ha ha ha) I'm surprised, too, believe me. I hate following rules. :D Well, here I go for another week! And thank you girls for the encouraging comments!
One highlight of the diet was when Kevin's niece watched me eating a cucumber on our camp out and asked if it was from Latvia, like it was some weird foreign food. When I explained it was an ordinary cucumber and they sell them at grocery stores around here, she retorted - well, they are usually sliced, I didn't know they came that way! It was funny.
