home from the road!
I arrived home today from my long trip to Minneapolis to see my sister. Before I finished unpacking I had to WEIGH!! It had been a long time since I'd been on a scale and I was suffering from severe scale withdrawal. I'm happy to report that I lost a total of NINE POUNDS during my vacation!!! 
WOO HOO!!! I LOVE MY RNY!! I'm a bit surprised. There were many times during my 16-day time away that I was faced with limited choices and ended up eating fried chicken tenders or nuggets. And I indulged a few times too: 5 spoonfuls of no-sugar-added frozen custard, tiny square of fre****alian bread with whipped herb butter, 2 M&Ms, things like that.
It took me and my mother over 3 days to make the drive from Minneapolis to New Bern. The interstate driving was the worst part: white knuckle driving at 70 mph in heavy traffic with 18-wheelers bearing down on you. Very stressful! Glad to be home and glad to be able to sleep in my own bed for a change!!

Welcome home, Meredith! I know it's good to get away but it's also good to come back home again. Congrats on the 9lbs! Mine is slowing down a little and I know it's because I've been eating too many carbs so tonight for supper I had cottage cheese/pineapple. Not my gavorite but so much protein! Anyways, welcome home!
Hi Meredith,
Welcome back! I think that two best parts of a trip are when you leave for the trip and when you come home! I'm sure you will enjoy your bed and your own kitchen.
Wishing you continued success,

Glad you made it home safely and Congrats on the nine lbs! Jackie
It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.
