Good Morning Jo Jo,

Good to hear that some things are taking care of in regards to your mom. If you ever are up in Orlando, let me know and we will go window shop at the Mall at Millennia and then have lunch at my fave restaurant, Greens and Grille. They are an organic restaurant and the salads are to die for...

Hugs and welcome back!

We stayed with friends (thank goodness or I'd have really lost it), but they are both very heavy and eat immense portions with lots of carbs...exactly what I'm trying to avoid.

I declined a lot, but didn't always, and even had a couple of diet Cokes....I was dreading the scale this morning. Amazingly, I only regained 1-1/2 pounds, so it's not anything difficult to cope with.

I'm back on the plan this morning....black coffee, 1 slice of whole wheat toast with tuna salad, and a banana for breakfast.

Where I'm falling down is exercise. I need to get back on that Mobia and just do it. It would work schedule-wise to get on it as soon as I return from delivering boys to school and before I have to start work, but Scoote is always still sleeping then and it's in the bedroom, so I hesitate. She says go ahead and it won't bother her....so I probably need to just do it (even though I'm sure it will disturb her sleep). I was going to wait until they move in a couple weeks, but that's really just procrastinating on my part I'm sure.

I wish I loved to exercise....sigh.

Hugs to you all.
