Losing 100+ pounds – Weekly Update – Week 22

A quick update as I’m preparing for going out of town next week. On Tuesday, for my weekly weigh-in the scale was at 286.8 so about the same.

I have to confess that other than a really good interval training session and several stretching sessions I’ve not made the time I should for exercise.

One request also… I am seriously needing to get back to freezer cooking (OAMC), and I’m failingly miserably at cooking beef for my husband (who prefers it). If you have any tried and true freezer-friendly beef recipes, could you please share them with me? 

I’m getting desparate, esp since I don’t eat beef and can’t taste what I’m cooking.

Baseball season is in full swing, so we’re at baseball games and practices 3-5 times a week. But unfortunately I’m not getting as much exercise in as I had hoped, or that I did last year. 

Our neighboorhood swim team season starts here at the end of April, that’s going to be great because we walk back and forth up to the neighborhood pool everyday for that. Great time for exercise.

Next week I’m in Denver, without my family, presenting at a conference (5 times). Went and got new “work” shirts last weekend, and that was actually fun because I fit into the next size down much better.

The thing about the Denver trip that has been interesting has been figuring out food. Normally I bring with me much of my food, usually things that can be eaten cold or that can be reconstituted with hot water (from the room’s coffee pot). It helps save costs. But this year, I”m not eating many of the things that I would normally take. So, rethinking the travel with food thing.

Thankfully I will get my case of water when I arrive, so that will be covered

Hope you have a fabulous week. And I’ll check back in with you from Denver.
