So, I'm not putting down my diet today, because two meals today were work-related and frankly horrid for me. Sometimes, though, that's the way it is. They accomplished their job of reminded me how awful I feel when I eat crap, even after eating only part of the meal I'd been given, and so I emerged slightly tarnished but victorious overall. I'm back on track this evening, so it's not a big deal.

Overall, though, I'm here to report that I've lost 15 lbs so far! Yay me!

I'm still happy with the overall plan, and I find that even if I stray slightly on occasion, it doesn't seem to impact things overall. The basic changes are broad-based enough that a little waffling here or there doesn't seem to hurt all that much. I imagine that as I get closer to my goal, this will change, but for now it's not a big deal. As long as I'm aware of what I'm doing and don't let sugars get a serious foothold on my eating habits, I'm doing well.

Really.... 15 lbs is not a small deal, but it's not statistically significant, either. It still falls in the land of "can be gained back relatively quickly as though it never had happened." At the same time, it's better progress than I've made.... well, ever. And for proof...
