Hmm.

I think I have been falling off the wagon in the last couple of weeks.

What do you think?  Detect a trend, or more importantly, the disappearing of one?

It felt good to cross into "normal" territory a while back.  I know my sense of urgency is less.   I don't really have to try to drop to the goal (108 pounds — roughly, ten pounds less than the place I've been bouncing around for a week) — but I'd still like to make a grab for it.  

So.  Re-reading the beginning of the "Gains" series, to remember what it was like in mid-July.  It's been a while since I had a pre-planned, pre-measured day.  I guess I should start again, beginning with tonight's dinner (we rode our bikes 37 miles this morning in the Minneapolis Bike Tour, and the rest stops were very well stocked with bagels, oranges, portable squeezable yogurt, a local bakery's  "Race Rolls"– golf-ball sized whole-wheat lumps studded with raisins– and oatmeal cookies.)

So.

Two cups lettuce; one teaspoon olive oil; one slice tomato; one-quarter carrot.  Two and a half ounces of roasted smoked sausage.  Three-quarters cup of brussels sprouts.
