From the Start - Replugged

Hi, all, and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!  I know, a little late, but I have been thinking of all my blogging friends over the past few weeks.  I have been kind of "unplugged" for a while, took a holiday vacation out of town.  It was wonderful.  Spent Christmas with my Mom in Sunny Florida.  The weather?  Well, honestly, it was cold...for Florida...for the beginning of the trip.  They even had frost.  But, of course, I missed the first BIG SNOW at home AND got to spend Christmas with Mom.  So I'm not complaining about weather.

Anyway, I honestly DID not track anything that I ate while I was there.  I did track my weight....for most of the trip, but have not gotten on the scale for about the last four days, and I don't intend to now until next Saturday at my meeting and weigh-in.  It's on the straight and narrow for me now. 

I have lots of pictures to download off the camera and a few that I will blog about.  I got to run while I was down there a few times and did something I've wanted to do for the past two years.  I'll tell you more once my pictures are downloaded.

So for now, I'm off to do laundry.  We left Florida with nothing but bags of clean laundry.  However, the "waterproof" bags and "waterproof" cargo carrier didn't quite hold up their end of the deal.  Yesterday we drove through rain the entire day.  Most of the time, just light rain, drizzle, and lots of road splash, a few spots of heavier rain.  Got home, unloaded everything, and ...yep, two big bags of wet clothes!   Ugh.

And on top of that, something has happened with hubby's already bad bad.  We might be dealing with doctors this week too.  All he did was pick up our 20-pound dog to put him back in the car, and something just went, severe pain that brought him to his knees (my husband, not the dog).  Now he's having trouble walking (using his cane again) and can't stand straight.  Ugh.   He dealt with it though the rest of the way home, with pain meds, tens unit, heating pad. 

So back to the real world.  And let me just say that I am  SO INSPIRED by all of you who have been following the program through the holidays.  I am excited to get back to the PointsPlus program now and really give the attention to it that I DESERVE! 

Oh, and while I was sitting in the car all the way home, I've been pondering my 2011 goals.  No resolutions for me, just goals.  Have a few of them I'll share in future posts.
