Today I leave for a two week trip to Chicagoland for work. We will see if I can eat responsibly during the trip. I weighed myself today, 143. I will weigh in again on the day I get back in almost two weeks. In my dictionary responsible eating means not eating processed foods. It means not eating bread products, sweets, drinking candy or liquor.

It should not be that hard to accomplish, but usually when I go on a trip I try and eat decadently because eating steak every night is a possibility. If I do that but stay away from the potato, the pasta, the tortilla chip then I could conceivably do this.

I will share my experience daily, as a way to keep myself more or less honest, but I will be very frank with you, dear reader. Stand by….
