I'm back....

from Bolivia. I didn't mean to, but i really made progress when i was gone. The scale now says 156. The altitude messed with my desire to eat. When blood is going to your stomach to digest food, it isn't going to your head... that = headaches for me when i'm in extreme altitude. Then, when we got to lower altitudes, my stomach was all weird from not eating. Put that on top of trying... i did say trying.... to keep up with my 21 year old son who has been backpacking in Bolivia for several months with a 45# backpack strapped to him, and i guess it's no mystery why the pounds melted. i went for an hour long walk yesterday to try to keep up the exercise. i've not been careful about foods yet... just got back on Saturday... but today i begin to log foods as well. Don't want to sabotage this gain in health! Besides.... i'm in range for a mystery date with my hubby! Fun!!! Also can fit into 31X30 pants. Yea!!!! down another size!
Just went to check in at Tales from the Scales and found out that while i was gone they decided to shut down the blog. After reading i completely understand... life is about 1st things 1st... but am sad to see it gone. i really appreciated that source of support. i'm joining the Healthy You Challenge. i see some familiar names have joined. i hope to find more.
