    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? No, not really.
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Hell no. I spent the whole day with friends -- always a health hazard. lol.
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Literally walked ALL day... must have been at least 5 miles or so.
    What would I have done differently? Ate A LOT less, but I guess when you're so active, you need the protein.
    What is today's personal goals? Eat way under my calorie goal, just to counteract the last few days. (Mostly because I'm sick of food.)

Following the trip I went straight into a week of living at church with 51 kids and their chaperons who came into town to work for residents of our town who had needs. A wonderful busy week.
