Thanks Boatingmommy and way to go on your accomplishments this month. Great find to know that the diet soda can make such a difference - very motivational!!

I went out for very salty ramen last night and left feeling very full, and knew I wouldn't make any progress today :dizzy: . And tomorrow I'm heading off from Toronto on a two week vacation in Italy. I'm very excited as one would expect, but am anxious/nervous about reversing the progress I've been making lately. I know that I will not want to avoid the pizza/pasta/cheese/etc.. that I love so much but am going to see if I can strike a balance and may also have the opportunity to go to the gym on some days. Lets see how "good" i can be! Its not that I'm opposed to enjoying a vacation, but for me, although I work very hard for good stretches, I frequently take the opportunity to enjoy something somewhere enough that significant progress is never achieved! :frypan:
