I'm Back... again....

Wow, it's been wild. i spent 10 days in Guatemala on a mission trip with my sister-in-law. after that i was home for 48 hours and then left for my mom's auction sale to sell all the things out of the home that she and dad lived in for 47 years. LOTS OF STUFF! i was really worried about how my mom would do with it all. she handled it with class and so did my siblings. (did i mention i appreciate my family?!?! Thanks, God!!!) after hubby and kids joined me at my mom's sale we left for Denver to pick up our oldest who was returning from about 10 months in bolivia. spent a couple of day in estes park, co. not near long enough. it is beautiful. then proceeded to a family reunion on hubby's side. so... after 10 days in guatemala and 2 days at home to repack and be "mom" and 10 days of travel and family reunion i'm ready to get back to the business of paying closer attention to my health and spend some time on my gardens and the home fires. i haven't kept track of anything. there was not a scale in sight. there was TONS of REALLY GOOD food at the reunion. so... as of this morning i am at 162#. that is up from what i was, but not too much. i'm really not discouraged, just ready to get after it again! looking forward to reading a few blogs and catching up on how you all are doing!

Welcome back!

You have had so much going on--I wouldn't even dream of worrying about weight when you're out of the country. Glad that you had a nice family reunion also.

Are you a gardener too? I sometimes wish it were bigger but would I have the time? Probably not. But, there are so many things I'd like to add. Where there's a will there's room for a new plant :)

Can't wait to start reading your posts again!

Welcome back! Considering all the moving around you've been doing, a little gain is no biggie!

Hi there - Thank for leaving such a kind message on my blog. It's nice to meet you!

Welcome back from all your travels! It's nice to go, but it's always good to come home.

Wow...seeing all that stuff being sold, was it hard? Sounds as if you are very grounded in what's important and what's okay to let go.

You and I are close to the same weight (I'm at 159 now), so we'll keep encouraging each other to keep going for the last leg!
