Day 8 of the diet was frustrating in that I didn’t lose any weight. On the other hand I have to be grateful that I didn’t gain any weight either.  I ate salads for lunch and dinner, only had 1 portion of fruit and did a ton of yardwork last night, I am not sure how I did not lose any weight. Oh well, today is another day!

I am very nervous for the upcoming weekend. It is memorial weekend and I will be going out of town for a couple of days. I will not have a scale to track my progress and I will probably not be able to post until next Tuesday. The hardest part will be we are going with family and we always have great food for every meal. It will take a lot of self restraint to not eat everything within my reach.

In other news, I am starting to play Indoor Soccer again. I will be joining a team very soon, my first game could be as early as Monday. That will provide some great exercise and motivation to get back in shape.

Wish me luck this holiday weekend! Hopefully I will be able to report next Tuesday that I defied all odds and lost some more weight.

I hope you all have a great memorial weekend, be safe out there!
