The Taste of Tippecanoe happened. Today I woke up, weighed myself as always, and clocked in at an all-time low of 154.5! That’s right– I even weighed five times in different spots on the floor (perhaps it was unlevel?!?), and it gave me the same number each time. I even weighed later in the day, and it was not a fluke. I had thought this weekend would pose no food hazards, but I was terribly wrong.
We went to the farmer’s market today (walked 1 mile to downtown and 1 mile back, so we got some exercise in). I ate a couple of bites of a danish and a couple of bites of a blueberry scone. DH finished the rest. However, when we were there, we noticed they were setting up for something big…you guessed it, the Taste of Tippecanoe. I had never been to a Taste of before, and it was really cool. I ate way off plan (dessert included), but I’m not overly insanely stuffed. It was bad food, but I’m hoping that if I jump right back on tomorrow that it won’t do too much damage. We did walk to and back again, so that brings me to a total of 4 miles walked today, and I don’t usually do anything on the weekends by way of exercise.
All in all, I wish I hadn’t had to go off my diet, but I had a really great time, and it was a very unique experience. Also, I’ve found I’m a fan of walking downtown, so that might become a more frequent weekend activity for DH and me.
weight at home: 154.5– briefly, lol. This is way low, but my scale has had a dead battery all week, so I really have no point of comparison. We’ll see what happens tomorrow and Monday.

Wow, great job getting to 154.5. Doesn’t sound like the taste got you too offtrack. A ladies progressive dinner would be major challenge, and, of course, any dessert you make poses huge challenges - especially if you cut it up yourself before you take it over. I have that problem. If I make bars or brownies or something I cut them up and plate them and shave a sliver off of practically ever slice before putting it on the plate! Somehow I think that 20 slivers have less calories than 3 whole pieces - crazy. But you are getting so close to goal! I had a girls weekend this weekend (Mom, Aunt Cindy, Marla, and Lindsey came) and it didn’t involve the world’s healthiest food choices, but I did pretty well - I’ll blog about it tonight - even lost despite the Cheesecake Factory - and, yes, I did eat an entire piece of Coconut Cream Cheesecake - definitely their best!
