I am back! Missed you all very much!

Well, I was back yesterday, but was ohhhh sooo tired! Today feeling more up to par and wanted to say hello and that I am back officially. LOL.
I had a most wonderful visit with Kathy and her dad, then left for North carolina for my retreat. The retreat was great, but I actually enjoyed the free time the best. I walked and walked on the beach. Two days getting in over 7 miles, and one day getting in nearly 10 miles. Being at the lower altitude, I was able to power walk the whole time, and never run out of breath. I got home here and am short of breath just sitting here... lol. Will adjust back soon I am sure.

I have missed you all, and look forward to our conversations here!
Hugs!

Welcome Back home Patrece.  For some reason, I had fun visiting with this gal named Patrece and her husband Paul.  Miss you friend.  I agree with the tired thing.  Slept till 10 am this morning.  Then up talking to Dennis till after 1 am.  He had so much to chatter about.  Let you body adjust a little, you will get back into the swing of things.  Dad talked the whole trip.  Learned more about him than I anticipated.  lol

Hugs, Kathy

Great to have both of you back.  I have missed you both.   Look forward to your chats. God bless and take care.

Thanks AnnieLou! Its great to be back. Look forward to hearing from you as well!

Kathy...I guess its better to find out dads little secrets now rather than later... LOL.  Thinking he needs a female companion...what do you think? hehehe. He's great!
Kathy we miss you too! Still wishing we lived closer. I really enjoyed our time together and really getting to know you face to face. I knew I'd love you!

The scale said I gained 4 lbs while I was gone, even with walking over 24 miles in 3 days. Go figure. BUT My lower legs and ankles were retaining a ton of fluids, and I ended up F.O.S. and very uncomfortable from that, then to top it off started my cycle, 2 weeks early, so I have a feeling those 4 lbs are not fat, but the above things causing it. My pants are actually loser. I will weigh in in a few days, when I get rid of all this extra fluid and poo...lol. I have not gotten in any real walks since home, but am feeling more awake and human this evening, so tomorrow I plan to kick myself in the behind and get the move on.
 Glad you made it home safe, sound and feeling like you had a good vacation!
