Hi! Got back last night from NC

Had a nice time with grandkids. The trip down was uneventful...I was very proud of myself for doing it in 8 hours by myself and I didn't get lost and didn't speed. Granddaughter's communion ceremony was very nice and even got to see her compete in gymnastics. She got 2 ribbons too.


I sure have a lot to catch up on, but I don't know how much time I will have to read the older posts. I tried to post from DS's house but the long post I got, didn't post. I guess that was part of the board problems that was going on.


The house needs some major attention with me gone for 11 days...the mail wasn't even opened. (DH was home for 8 of those days.) I have bills to pay for the business and the house...no one helped me out with that. I don't understand it, but that is what happened.


I am trying to get my good mood back. (Had a phone argument with DH a little while ago and it ruined my mood.) I got up today and did some bathroom cleaning and laundry. Then I took a kick boxing class (didn't jump) and then did 25 minutes on the elliptical. Was my first time and I loved it. I was up only 2 lbs which is good considering how horribly I ate while I was gone. I am back on track today and already cooking lots of veggies. I wasn't able to exercise much while away....I tried to walk, but it hurt my feet too much. I am determined to get back on track with eating and exercise. Those 2 lbs should be history in a day or two.


Have to get busy with the house and dinner and then I will be back later and try to post more. I sure did miss talking with all of you. It is amazing how the support here really helps a lot.


Don't forget to log in your activity in the President's Challenge if you signed up for it. I love seeing those points add up.


Have a good Wednesday all.

Good to have you back, Grace! Glad you had such a good visit with the grandkids, though sorry to hear that DH didn't pick up the slack while you were gone. It's not that difficult.

You'll be back in the saddle with eating and exercising in no time.

We missed you, Grace. Welcome back! Glad to hear you had such a good trip with so little weight gain. Kudos to you! Oh, and congratulations to your GD for her gymnastics ribbons.
