Diet Hiatus

Well, I followed through with the 7 days of the Ultra Simple Diet but immediately fell of the wagon and did not add foods back in slowly as I was supposed to. There are two reasons I did this:
1) I was not feeling all that much better on the diet anyway, so I don't think I would have noticed changes by slowly adding foods back in. It's possible that I have foods that don't agree with me even within the limited items allowed on Ultra Simple...
2) I'm on vacation! I can't do diet & hardcore exercise while I'm on vacation! In fact, vacation calls for an ANTI-diet! It calls for alcohol(raspberry mead! sake!), fried local oysters, frozen pizza, and hot dogs and marshmallows roasted over a fire. I believe it also calls for Carrie to gain an inordinate amount of weight which she will have to work twice as hard to lose again. Sigh.

So, let me gather my resolve and eat what we have in the house upon our return, and then I will be ready to start the next plan with an iron will. I think. What is it about lack of responsibility that feeds the desire for more of the same?
I think what will drive me is the fear of even stepping onto a scale...
