GEESH! FINALLY!

I actually feel like my life is on an upward trend, and not my weight! This has been a pretty excruciating two weeks waiting on TOM to arrive. When he arrived, in the middle of the field trip (a WALKING field trip mind you) was a bit more than I wanted to deal with yesterday, but I dealt with it, he is finally here, and now, he can leave and I can return back to normal.

First, about the field trip - we went here - Charles Towne Landing - when I left yesterday morning, I didn't know it was supposed to be a walking field trip. I honestly didn't know what it was. This place was closed down in Charleston for years and only recently reopened so I had never heard of it. I thought it was closer to the river and we were gonna see some ships and cannons and stuff, but it was a spot inland where the settlers of Charleston had landed and started forming this city. There was LOTS of walking involved. There was a history trail, an animal forest and a museum.

With TOM arriving almost within one hour of our trip, the rest of the day walking really played havoc with my back. OUCH - since I hurt my back in Jan of 2007, it gets very tender during the first few days of TOM and with all the walking yesterday, and not wearing the correct shoes, well suffice it to say that I was down for the count as soon as I got home.

Actually, today will be a day of being lazy. The cramps are strong, they will be today, and today will be the worst of it.

Thanks for hanging in with me while I was a little crazy over the last two weeks. Now that TOM is here, I know that I will be able to better focus on things like blogging, weight loss, getting back to LIW - all these things WILL happen, I have no doubt.

On to my commenter's - these are my responses to yesterday's comments:

Lili - HA! The problem was I was an hour away, in an auditorium of 1000 people and I looked for something to savor, and do you know that not one person had any chocolate? It was like the whole place was on some sort of health kick. So you know that made me even angrier. LOL - what, we worry?

Ewewho - Fun? That is a loose term I tell you! The kids had fun, and I put on my best face while I was with them. So that is important, that the kids had fun.

CB - you and me, we have been chatting back and forth since yesterday about this. I will be posting my thoughts in coming days. And thanks girl, all of this community is the pillar of which my foundation with this protocol is set.

Jenn - as you know by now TOM finally showed up, geesh. On the field trip no less, what is up with that?

Mary - how can this dorm school phenomena happen across the internet? You, me, Jenn, I wonder who else??? Geesh!

B - Looking forward to seeing your progress in subsequent days!
