Back from celebrating
My husband, Kevin, and I had a FABULOUS weekend in Fredericksburg, TX. We stayed in a little cottage which is loosely called a "bed and breakfast." Breakfast wasn't served on site, but we did get a coupon that we could use at a handful of local eateries. They did provide coffee, a fridge, a microwave, and a few snacks at check-in. All in all, it was wonderful - it was cozy, romantic and my favorite memories will be those that I couldn't mention in the guest book.

We arrived at the cottage on Friday night and enjoyed a good night's sleep after a long week at work. Saturday we slept late, got breakfast around 10 AM and went hiking at Enchanted Rock. It took us only 15 minutes to reach the summit, but we ended up hiking around for about 2 hours. All of the climbing really did a number on my legs - I was exhausted & my calves are relatively sore today! I burned around 1300 calories, so I was pretty pleased with that!

After our hike, we cleaned up and went shopping downtown. Later that night, we went to a nice restaurant and actually had a romantic dinner complete with a bottle of wine! I think the last time we did that was in 2000, so it was really nice.

So, now that we've gotten all of the celebrations out of the way, it's time to get back to business. Tomorrow I'll be on plan 100% and if my legs and sunburned arms aren't killing me, I'll get in some treadmill work.
Here's one last pic of me.... in a size 16.... shocking!
