20 days...

of dining out, drinking, celebrating, feasting, etc. That's what's upcoming. I weigh 154 lbs now, 33 less than when I started the Sonoma Diet in February. Hopefully, I'll survive the next three weeks of: leaving my job (and assorted lunches, happy hours, etc), spending a weekend up the coast, spending a weekend on the Jersey shore with two friends, spending a week with my mom in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

This will be a real test of whether or not I can maintain my size. Dining out, culinary adventures, feasting with friends and family, these are some of my greatest joys, so it will be quite a challenge not to overeat at every meal. Still, I hope that I can make every non-festive meal a healthy one, that I can squeeze in some exercise, that I can practice portion-control (periodically), and that I can make healthier choices while drinking in excess (Another glass of wine? Sure! Another margarita? No, thanks!).

Way to go sis. Consider that festive meals might also be occasions to practice healthy no-saying.
