Monday-Day 29-Week 5

As you all know I have been gone since Friday morning as I had the privilege of lecturing for APMA. I was afraid of being unable to eat right. I was afraid that I would not work out. Well I did both without any difficulty. I was scared as the first night the meal was a BUFFET. It was a seafood buffet and I did real well. The next night I was in a restaurant and I ordered "blackened" scallops and when they came out they were in a pool of butter. I apologized for not asking how they were prepared and I asked them to be sent back and recooked with out butter. I even offered to pay for the mistake as I did not ask. The chef recooked them for me. I need to start asking how things are prepared and I believe that I will be ok.

Today was weigh in day and as I have said I have not looked at the numbers because it is what it is. I will say that I started with a size 56 waist and today it was a 47. Not bad.

My hip was great today and I worked out hard. I am going to push myself for the next two weeks. I am looking forward to getting home but am thankful to my great staff for working so hard so that I could have this opportunity. I am indebted to them.

Thank you to all who keep writing. I had a rough few days but am back on track.
