Back from the mini-vacation!
I feel like I've been gone forever!!!! I've missed all of you and the posts on here! I'm going to try to play catch up but please forgive me if I don't reply to all the posts! I'll be reading though! I sure hope everyone has had a great coupla days! I know I sure have!
We spent a coupla days at a camp my mom and dad rented on Granny Kent pond in Shapleigh. It was fun!!!! The kids spent most of the time in the water, except when we had a thunderstorm Thursday evening! We built a fire every night and lit sparklers. NO! I did NOT go on the water trampoline!!!!! (For those of you that don't know, I went on it last year and tore up my knee and missed 6 weeks of work because of the injury! I was a little smarter this year!!) I went swimming, sunning/tanning, and even took some walk/runs (I walked all the way around the lake!)
I did bring most of the food that I had packed, and, of course, I had too much. But, I AM glad I brought it as mom cooked some stuff that I didn't dare try. As a matter of fact, last night, she made ham steaks on the grill (I ate something else.) but I did try 1 bite of the ham. I'm not sure if it was the glaze she put on them or if it was too fatty or if it was just that one bite too many, but I had to lay down for a while as I was feeling kinda puny! (I never threw up or anything, I just didn't feel good for a while.) BTW, on Thursday, I ate with the family and even ate some munchies (don't flame me! I only ate a couple and it was great to eat a few and then have the will-power to stop and NOT eat the whole bag!!! And, yes, I logged it all!!!!!!! My family was laughing because I was having fun with the bags and doing the math!!) The great part was that I LOST while we were there! 2.5 more pounds! That means I've now lost more post surgery than I did pre surgery! That was one of my goals for my 4 month surgiversary! I was pretty excited about that!!!!
Anyways! I've missed you all and can't wait to go read and catch up!!!! Have a great day!!!! Ruth
Edited to add: Oh YEAH!!!! We went blueberry picking too!!! Blueberry Hill Farm in Acton has AMAZING blueberries!!!! You pick them almost like grapes and some of them ARE the SIZE of grapes!!!!!! I've frozen a bunch so I should be able to satisfy my blueberry cravings for the WHOLE winter!!!!!!!! (We picked over 13 pounds in about an hour!! NO...I didn't keep them all...mom wanted some too!!!!!!!! haha)

Welcome back Ruth.
You handled the food aspect of your vacation well. Packing too much is always my problem with vacations, wether it's food, clothing or stuff. You were prepared for meals which you questioned or knew your pouch wouldn't like. All that swimming and walking helped too!
WoW- you've reached a milestone, loosing more post surgery than pre surgery. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
