Thoughts: I've logged a lot of hiking miles in this week, with some strenuous hill climbing thrown in for good measure.  I've tried to be good with eating while being on the road.  It was a little bit easier to be good because I was by myself.  There was no social reason for me to go out to a big restaurant for dinner.  I typically did that for lunch.

The eating thing is mostly mental.  Compared to how I ate while on the road for the last year or so, I did exceptionally well this trip! But is it enough to take off the pounds.  Did the bagel and a half I ate today ruin all the work I did hiking this week?  Kelley jokingly told me I had to lose 3 pounds this week even through I was on the road.  That stuck in my head.  However I wanted to do even better and lose 5 pounds or more.  I don't know if I succeeded.  We'll find out in the morning.
