It's been a while since I blogged so I wanted to let everyone know I'm still around.  Life has been so very stressful lately.  Work has been kicking my butt.  I guess that's a good thing, cause it means job security, but it also wipes me out.  I made my last trip to Wisconsin by driving.  The outbound trip from Maryland was horrible.  I hit b ad weather and consequently spent 22 hours in the car.  Coming back was easier, but I was so anxious I did it straight though and was in the car for a solid 15 hours.  Hard on the body.  I could hardly walk when I got back and my body was vibrating.  I don't think I'll be driving like that any too soon!  As always the travelling is hard from the weight loss perspective.   But, I find I dont eat as much when I'm home in Wisconsin.  Maybe it's because I back with my husband and contented.  But, cooking and exercising is difficult since we are still confined to our basement room.  Progress on the house has been at a snail's pace and I'm frustrated by it.  But, I do what I can, and the fact that there was no increase over the last 2 weeks indicates that I have not overdone in the eating area.  I probably would have done better if I could have exercised more.  However, imagine doing any exercises that require lifting your arms over your head and having to be careful that you don't slam your hands on the ceiling joists!  The floors are covered with plaster dust so lying down to do anything on the floor is impossible and trying to do it on the bed is ridiculous!  No support whatsoever!  Anyway, onward and upward
