Good job!

I've been wondering lately about "normal" life. I read your entry and it strikes me as normal life (in a GOOD way) and you still lost weight.

I have some friends who, after drastic weight loss, are in the "transition phase" of their $$$ diet program and it all strikes me as a little strange.

I wonder, will the lives of my friends ever become "normal"?

Diana – I'll get a lot of walking in at the beginning of the trip, but for the majority of the time it's going to be business, and a lot of train/air travel.

Steve – The problem is I need to get up at 4:00 – 4:30 to get my 45 minutes in. Even another 15 minutes on top of that is tough, but it sounds worth looking into. I've seen a little about HIIT, is there a good article somewhere you can point me to?

Skinny – Well, that's the problem – very few hotels in Europe, at least the price level that I stay in, have gyms. I am going to bring my running shoes though. Won't be a problem next week in Chicago of course.

Great loss! Good luck when you're traveling – try to take advantage of the gyms in the hotels where you'll be staying.

2 Lbs is still a good loss for the week. If you're having trouble getting your cardio in, have you thought about doing 10-15 of HIIT after your weights?

I mean you are already in your workout gear anyway, right?

Congrats on the downward movement!!

I've found that when I'm in Europe I always do lots of walking and come home a few pounds lighter, I hope this is the case for you too! Skip the taxi when possible and walk walk walk!!
