Every morning there is a huge hot breakfast buffet. The training classroom has snacks and evil delicious treats. Lunch has a new theme everyday. Dinner is with a group of classmates. How is a girl supposed to stick to a diet when she is out of her element and tempted at every turn?

I thank the hotel for having those horrible mirrors in the bathroom area. Every time I am tempted I just think of my lower half in those mirrors and just keep working until I can break and get a Medifast Meal. I bought a single serve blender to make shakes for just $12 and have it in my hotel room. I figure, when I get back from training I will keep it in my office.

As I was packing for 2 weeks I struggled to carry my bags downstairs. It was so heavy I was slightly winded after getting them down the hall, around the corner and downstairs. I thought “let’s see how much of a wimp I really am.” I put one of my bags on the scale and it weighed 45 pounds. My other bag with my paperwork and work supplies weighed 30 pounds. I can’t believe I used to carry this much weight around with me all the time! No wonder I was so winded before losing this weight…
