Catch up and lots o' pictures

A lot has gone on since returning from our road trip in early August (and was about the time that I last gave a decent post....).  In a nutshell, here's what's been going on with lots of pictures to share from over the last couple of months.  Came back from our 2 week road trip at the beginning of August, got caught up from vacation at work over the following 2 weeks, took a whirlwind (rainy) trip to Boston with our good friends Jeremy & Brandi, came home from Boston and threw Jeff a big 30th birthday party, again had to get caught up at work from vacation, took 2 weeks to mentally prepare for Chicago, went to Chicago and met some amazing women, again came home and have been trying to play catch up/keep my head above water with work ever since.

Needless to say, work has been extremely busy lately, which isn't too out of the normal for this time of year, but just seems to be a bit more intense this year for some reason.

Weight wise, I've been at the same weight for about 2-3 months now (ranges between 193-195).  I don't have anyone to blame for the lack of weight loss but myself, but to be honest, I'm not really freaking out about it.  I'm kind of at the same place that a few of us are at right now.  I'm feeling good (most days) about the way I look and how far I've come and I've just kind of taken some of the pressure off of myself.  Don't get me wrong, I'm still shooting to get to my next goal of 170 pounds (with my ultimate goal being 155).   I don't really have a time frame of when I'd like to hit 170, but by my 2 year anniversary would be nice.  So, that gives me just a little over 6 months to lose 23-25 pounds.  Definitely doable...if I get my ass in gear (like, literally....I need to get my ass in gear to the gym). 

Anyways....that's where I'm at.  Nothing exciting, just life getting busy, but I'm happy that I've been able to maintain my loss in these 2-3 months.  :)  Now, here are some pictures from over the past few months!
