I have lost focus... - Alison

I skipped weigh-in this morning due to my work schedule. I probably would have found a way to avoid the scale anyway. I have not been very focused on my weigh-loss journey as of late. A friend at work suggested that I put on my bathing suit and snap some pictures. I have not been that brave yet (and I will not be posting them here when I do...).

This next week should bve fairly stress-free at work so I hope I can get back on track.

Catering is the Devil - Hannah

As Alison mentioned I am traveling for work the first three weeks of this month. I am currently in Atlanta training new staff. The day started off by my lack of wake up call from the hotel so I missed my workout opportunity. I arrive on time at the training to see a big tray of bacon or sausage, egg and cheese biscuits. So I choose a bacon one and manage to pull off the bacon and eat the rest plus fruit.

The morning goes by quickly and as I am pushing water and more water.

Lunch arrives at 1pm and I am beyond hungry. Make your own deli sandwich. I am relieved we will have some good options here, right? Maybe not.... bread the size of my head, potato salad, pasta salad all drenched in mayo and a whole basket of full fat chips, doritos, cheetos. As if I have to stop there two full trays of cookies, seven layer bars etc...

I pick wheat bread, mustard, turkey and cheese. I sit and eat my sandwich while the dessert bars call my name. I broke down and had half a dessert bar and more water.

Here is hoping for dinner outside of a conference room, maybe I will have time for a workout before then. Guess I will set my own alarm tomorrow morning, what is that saying
"If you want something done right, do it yourself?" I say amen to that.

Girl's Day Out - Alison

Hannah and I took the day off from work on Friday. We weighed in (another -1.2 lbs. for me) and then went for a giant breakfast. Then off for some shopping and a 5:10 showing of Sex and the City - the movie! It was such a terrific day filled with laughter, tears and alot of food and drinks we didn't really need...but a day like this is necessary every once in a while. Hannah and I spend alot of time together but not much time alone so it was a real treat to reconnect with my dear sister.

Refreshed and full of Cosmos and not-so-good-for-us food, we're ready to take on the challenges of June: lots of travel for business and pleasure (Hannah)/ job interview prep and road trip to Louisiana (Alison).
