Despite yesterday's eating difficulties, she still managed to lose another pound!  I am so encouraged by her progress so far and hope it continues.  At this point I am hoping she loses a total of 15 to 20 pounds before she goes home.  I am unsure if this is realistic but I'd like to think it can be done as long as we continue to follow our current pattern of diet and exercise.  We could ramp it up a little on the exercise at this point, I think, because she has had some time to adjust to the altitude difficulties by now.

Today was interesting on the eating front because we basically skipped lunch and combined lunch and dinner.  It will be a more snack-y night around here since we went to the Renaissance Fair today and ended up not wanting to eat there because of the lack of calorie control.  We walked a TON and a lot of it was up and down hills on uneven terrain.  We are all tired from this one but it was a ton of fun!
