After 15 weeks I still can't quite figure out why the pounds disappear when they do. Two weeks ago I really loosened up and didn't even record everything but dropped two pounds. Last week I recorded every morsel, kept to my daily calorie target and added 100 minutes of exercise to my daily average without losing one pound. I know there's a delay in cause and effect, at least with me, and I know hot and humid weather throws me off but it's still frustrating.

Meanwhile I happened to run into my Garlic Guy at the state fair last week. A good thing since it turns out he isn't selling his garlic at the farmers' market this year after getting me hooked on several wonderful varieties. He's going to have some for me next Saturday when we go back to the fair, some Metechi, Nootka Rose, Chesnok Red and Red Toch. As soon as I get it, I'll make some hummus.
