What Works/What Doesn't

We were in Salem last week.  I did way better than I have in the past.  I made it to the track a couple of times to walk and run, did a few exercises at the house, etc.  I didn't eat as many treats as I usually would, but I didn't track my calories, didn't eat healthily, ate several helpings of the food if it was good, etc.  And I spent the whole week feeling really sick to my stomach.  Since I haven't been eating as much, my stomach just can't handle that much food.  And it was just...blech.  Don't get me wrong, it was a really a fun week, and the food was amazing.  But it's not what I want to do all the time.  Especially since I gained 1.30 pounds in a week.  Since I didn't lose any weight the week before, I'm over 5 pounds behind my goal.  I want to be at my mission weight by Sept 1st.  That's just 2 pounds a week.  I may not be able to reach the exact number, but I can get pretty darn close.
  I've already lost .66 in 2 days by eating well, recording my calories in www.livestrong.com, and exercising.  We did a 5 mile walk on Monday, a 1 mile walk yesterday, and I ran on both days also.  I'm just tired of being heavy.  I've always hated it, and now I hate it enough to do something about it.
