    Just for fun: What is your biggest roadblock to losing weight? Well, this month it will be our 10 day vacation at the lake cabin. I'm taking that week off from my "diet". I plan, of course, to eat as well as possible, but will not be logging calories or cooking any separate meals from the rest of the group, so I'll be eating a lot of big breakfasts (pancakes, french toast, etc.), sandwiches (the bread! the coldcuts!), and hearty dinners (mmmmmm, fresh caught pan-fried walleye!)... so it'll be an interesting month. If not for that vacation, my goal weight would be lower for this month.

    My busy life! I have an hour commute to and from work, love to workout, and my two young boys are super busy, so we eat out waaaay too much. And because I work out, I starting thinking I could add the sugars/potatoes back in. Now I'm up over 10 lbs from my lowest.

    Just for fun: What is your biggest roadblock to losing weight? I tend to work long hours and by the time I get home I don't have a desire to do any physical activity. I'm trying to change this and do a workout before work, when I have more energy. I also tend to snack without paying attention. I'll be on the phone with someone and eating without thinking. I'm trying to be more conscious of this because I know it adds up throughout the day.
