I tweaked my diet a bit...instead of eating Minnestrone soup or wheat linguine with a pomodoro sauce for lunch at work, I've started eating two chicken breasts with pomodo sauce (a diced tomato and basil sauce) with mushrooms and asparagus and no pasta instead, and it's made a bigger difference than I expected...

I certainly wasn't expecting a four and a half pound loss! This is the first time I've been under 200 pounds in I don't know how many years. I would like to lose another five to ten pounds, but I don't know how possible that really is. I just want to get rid of the last remnants of my gut before it's all said and done.

That being said, this upcoming week is going to be a challenge. I'm going out of town again, this time to Iowa for a family reunion. So we'll be eating out almost every day, every meal. It's hard for me to be good when we go out to eat...
