It's been a rough feew weeks; so many things going on.  I have been in Chicago since Sunday for work (who starts a conference on Memorial Day?!)  I haven't been eating too much more than usual and walking around the city but we shall see on Saturday.  I crawcked some ribs so working out (other than light walking) is not an option.  I have some other obstacles coming u but I'll save themfor their own seperate blog.  Every month I tell myself I'm going to weigh myself halfway through the month to check progress and I have yet to do so.  I'll weigh myself on Friday just so that any shock is prepared for.  I wish everyone the best of luck!!!

I have kind of plateaued with my weight loss but I’m not letting it discourage me.  I feel great and have completely changed my eating habits.  Unfortunately now when I do treat myself to some wonderfully fried and fattening foods I feel like crap for the next day or so.  I guess that could be a good thing, like an automatic deterrent system.  I have started to work out more but still need to do more.  Really need to make more of a dedication on my calendar to go to the gym.  I walk with a friend a couple times a week and go to the Y occasionally.  Their treadmills have TVs and that really makes the time just fly by.  To the inventor of that – I love you!
