Fri (9-28) Looks like 1950

Coffee (40)
Scrambled egg, toast with scant margarine and sugar free marmalade (260)
String cheese (60)
Seven Layer Salad from Walmart Deli (5 serving @225 each serving=1125-210=915=150=1065) I think the dressing was most of that because it was 210 for every serving of 2 Tbsps and they included 4 servings. I probably didn't eat but three so I guess I could minus 210 from that 1125 BUT I just remembered, I ate snack crackers with it at 15 calories a whack. So add 150 back.
Yogurt & apple (110+85=195)
Frosty (330)
That's all I remember right now.

At campmeeting I ate pretty much what was fixed plus desserts with each main meal. I gained about six pounds.

I came home and cut back but not to below 1600 and quickly lost five pounds. Right now I'm sitting at 188 and staying in that area even though I have not cut my calories back to "diet" level. I probably won't do that until week after next because this week and next week I am still working more (overtime) and I don't want to figure out what I can eat that is lower in calories. Besides I'm running out of lunch meat and I haven't had time to go to Sam's. I can do that after work today.

Taking a "maintenance break" might not be such a bad idea anyway. It gives my body time to get used to being 20 pounds lighter. I have about twenty more to get off. It is probably not going to come off quickly.

What I am going to have to do is TAKE TIME to write me up an eating plan and make sure I have the food HANDY so that I don't have to figure all this stuff out every day.

By now I should have an idea of what I can and cannot eat.
