If you have been following since Week 5, then you know that I was chaperoning my son’s Camp Grady Spruce YMCA 5th grade camping trip. I brought some snacks with me, but for the most part I just have to eat whatever they are serving. I don’t have access to a fridge or anyway to cook something myself. We are staying in cabins in the woods, which I am very excited they have beds, bathrooms, and A/C! I don’t do “real” camping…. Our idea of family camping is our RV motorhome :-)….. which is AWESOME when you want to travel a lot but cook your own food!

During the 5th grade “camping” trip, I was happy to see we had a salad bar, but slowly over the days it started to dwindle in variety and availability. I did my best to avoid the SAD options, but sometimes it was just difficult to do. The last day of camp was the worst because there was no salad bar and we all got “sack lunches” because they were pretty much closing down the kitchen. We had turkey and cheese sandwiches on white bread with Lays chips and Capri Suns to drink. Wow….

I was able to get back on track pretty quickly once returning from camp, but MAN did I have some mega gas the next day. It hasn’t really been a problem for me eating all the high fiber foods, but going from a few days of super SAD eating back to all the high fiber was quite a jolt for my body!

This week is actually only 6 days, because guess what? Going out of town again! I wanted to get a clearer picture of before and after, so I weighed myself a day early. Next week will be 8 days long.

My weight loss on the nutritarian diet this week:

• Starting weight this week – 153.5 lbs

I was very happy to be able to lose a pound in just a few days after returning from the camping trip. I’m now leaving on ANOTHER trip, this time to San Antonio with my husband over Valentine’s day. We’ll see how we do there! The biggest temptation? Margaritas….
