I haven't fallen off the face of earth....went on vacation to Oregon on 9-4 and got back on 9-16....so this is my first Monday morning since getting back. I went to Oregon and spent almost 2 weeks with my Mom and Dad and sister Pam....it was probably one of the best trips ever....Pam and I went to a weekend long scrapbooking retreat and spent 3 days just creating things...it was like being in a bubble completely away from the real world. From Friday at 7 pm til Sunday at 5 pm all we did was scrapbook, eat and sleep!!!! What a treat...
Then a couple days at Mom and Dad's in Bend...followed by 3 nights/4 days at Yachats with Mom and Pam...our favorite place on earth...again, a weekend of scrapbooking, eating and just spending time together...we only left our unit once to make a quick run to the grocery store for ice....
Then, back to the real world. Most of the time, I was able to stay on my eating program. But I didn't "try" while I was gone....and really enjoyed eating Mom's cookies....but I didn't pig out and was rewarded by only gaining 2 lbs while I was gone.
Now it's about 8 weeks til my 60th birthday....and I'd have to lose 27.5 lbs to make my goal of being 260 by my 60th...obviously, that isn't going to happen....so a revised goal.....275 by my birthday which would mean losing about 12 lbs in 8 weeks...that's do-able...and then I can reset my "260" goal to achieve by Christmas...
