Check in here!!

No change for the second week in August, which is actually a triumph.
I went on vacation with my family at a resort in Michigan, and while I
ate more than I usually do, I managed to stick to my low-carb WOE.
There was much more temptation in my path than usual, with good bread
and blueberry tarts and all sorts of high-carb food served at meals.
It helped that it was blueberry season in Michigan and blueberries are
fairly low-carb. Fresh blueberries and cream for dessert was always
something to look forward to.

My one big indulgence was at Sherman's, which is a wonderful ice-cream
parlor that's always a high point of our trips to South Haven. They
had two flavors of low-carb ice cream, and each of the three times we
went there, I had their Moose Tracks ice cream -- vanilla with caramel
and peanut-butter cup. It was wonderful, though it had to be laden
with sugar alcohols, and I paid the price later. It was worth it for
a once-in-a-great-while treat, and I'm glad to say I haven't been
having any more cravings for it now that I'm back home.

A few days after I got home, I realized that my size 20 jeans were not
just kind of large, they were really large. So I hauled out the size
16 jeans that had been rather tight a month ago. They were tight no
longer! They fit with a bit of room to spare. So even if I didn't
lose weight this week, it was a good week for inches.
