Day 23

Well, we're back from our road trip and funeral.  The weather was beautiful, the beach amazing, the family great, and the funeral sad.  The diet I've been working with such dedication simply wasn't conducive to a 1200 mile road trip, so I took a little break from it.  And I'm SO glad I did.  We ate in 5-star restaurants, and I would have just cried if I couldn't have enjoyed the very delicious foods they made.  According to the scale, I weigh 279.6 pounds, so I didn't gain any of the weight I lost back, but tomorrow's a new day and it's back on the diet.

Oh, and if you ever get to Santa Cruz, the Dream Inn was right on the beach and very dreamy!
