This spring I kept up with my water intake and exercising but didn't follow the food plan as well as I should have.  Lets just say I had a GREAT spring.  I went to the shore to visit girlfriends 2xs, went to NYC for a weekend with my daughter, went to Pittsburgh with my daughters to visit my other daughter in college, went to Las Vegas for my 20 th wedding anniversary.  Then graduation parties etc.  I was ready to get back in the swing of things with only a 5lb weight gain when I got the bad news.  My father had a major stroke.  They live in Florida and I live in Pennsylvania.  They had jusst gotten home from my house 2 days when it happened.  Things were like a roller coaster however he ended up passing away about 2 weeks later.  I stayed down there with my Mother for over a month.  

From a weight loss point of view-I did ok.  I didn't gain while I was down there but was a little dissipointed because I walked 3 miles on the beach almost everyday!  When I did get home-I don't know what happened.  I didn't exercise at all and now I have put on about another 5lbs over 2 weeks.   Today I decided enough is enough and I am jumping back on the wt loss "band wagon" full force.  Heading out to walk after I do this and already did my exercise bands for my arms and my situps.  I also did ok eating this morning.  I am at least getting it into my head that when I eat right I feel a lot better.  

I will be back to post my long term and short term goals later.  I just want to get out while I have a chance.  I also wanted to put something in writing to make this"official"  Very sad that I have fallen so far back with my goals....oh well...at least I am back.

I will write again soon
