Hi folks,
So between June 27th through July 6th I’ve spend my time in Chicago and Washington, DC. And in those days I ate everything (and I mean EVERYTHANG) that didn’t get a chance to eat me first. I mean the Taste of Chicago was GREAT! I ate Harold’s Chicken (a chicago favorite), polish sausages, Eli’s cheesecake, Chicago deep dish pizza, then I managed to get some REAL White Castle (can you believe New Yorkers put ketchup on those hamburgers? Can somebody say ”hamburger blasphemy?” Sheesh. And on top of THAT I had moments of McDonalds and Matt’s Peanut butter and chocolate chip Cookies! Then when I went to DC, I went to a cookout and had kettle chips, sausages, cookies, and more junk. And in BOTH cities I had mojitos and amaretto sours. (oh and for those of you in the Washington, DC/Maryland/Virginia areas if you haven’t checked out the National Harbor yet, get’cha behinds on over there and ask for this cat name Edward at the 2nd floor level bar. Dude makes the BEST mango mojitos 
)
So basically I don’t have any words of encouragement this week. It is what it is. I ate the hell out of some food and admittedly I’m too scared to get on scale or wrap some tape around my body masquerading as measurement taking. But I will say to those who are on this journey with me to keep fighting the good fight. Remember a couple of blogs ago I mentioned taking measurments? well I’m still taking them. But I’m going to have to skip out on this month. I’ll wait till August! It’s just like trying to kick a habit. If you fall off the horse you have to get back on. No shame in falling. The shame is staying down. Get back up and try again. And as for me, this week is all about getting back on my grind. Yall do the same. Till next time. Smooches
Hey Women,
How are you? Must I ask after your blog above. It would be nice to call a sister to say hello while you were running through our town. No comment. Have a wonderful recovery.

Altough I didn’t go to the taste (I hate the crazy people) My son’s 12th Birthday party was full of all those wonderful things that pack the fat but I couldn’t resist. Not to mention on the next day we went to Barraco’s Pizza in Oaklawn. If you haven’t been you must go. They have the largest small deep dish pizza in which you can only eat one slice and then stuffed garlic bread sticks, hot bread, brownies and ice cream, and they have the best strawberry short cake ever. I’m doing triple time in the gym all this week. So I hear you Tif. Ps What happen to calling a sista when you got to Chitown.

Wow! I guess I’m only good for a call when you need a ride to the airport huh?
No matter, “we fall down AND we get back up again”. You came, you ate, drank and apparently were happy. What’s important is that you enjoyed yourself.
Now get back on your square and pick up where you left off.

lol, so you fell off the wagon. I did too during the holiday. We all do just get back on and start again.
Be blessed, you will reach your goal.
