All I can say...
is you guys are the best... 
I can't even tell you.. thanks for the comments 
..and it looks like things have changed around here. ;p I'll have to take a better look when I get home on my computer (and not sat with the laptop perched on a pillow daring to hurdle itself onto hardwood floors ;p)
Being home is great... altho, I have to say.. I'm ready to get back to Athens (!) and husband :) It's very weird tho.... Portland will always be home -- but now it's just a little off, hard to explain. And I'm calling Athens home now when talking to ppl but yet ..the feeling isn't quite there and I'm don't know if it ever will be. My only conclusion is that home is where husband is. ;p
But there are bagels here... mmMMMmmm. I've only had 2 (in almost 3 weeks time!) so that's gotta count for something. ..and I can't wait to be 8000 miles away from Ben and Jerrys again. It's a much safer world :p
Anyways... I've been watching what passes my lips. I can't say I've been perfect but I'm at least aware ..which is more then I can say for the last month or so. And, I've been getting in my water. I think I was about 16 oz. short yesterday but the day before and today were good. I've gone down to track and walked 3 of the last 4 nights.. 3-1/2 miles.. One night I only did 1-1/2 miles because it was unbelievably cold and I couldn't get moving fast enough ;p So, until I get home -- that's the plan. :)
I'm so glad to be back... making the first post was really half the battle... getting thru the next week and a half of temptations is the next step. Just get me on that plane!
Take care all..
Glad you are back on here. It's so good to hear from you!
