Penny, way to go. Isn't it amazing when we put back the temptation how long the good feeling last??? Way longer than the lovely taste of something. I will try to keep that in mind.
Skiing was fabulous again. A beautiful day devoid of many other skiers. I don't understand why - perhaps the economy and it's a spendy sport. But regardless, it was wonderful. DH found my binding was broken when he was re-doing them for the new boots, so we drove back via Medford and bought new bindings. The old ones worked for the day as DH had to snap them in. Looking at the other, it was cracked and ready to break. Then we looked at his and his were cracking too. so we bought two sets of bindings and new boots for him. I was blown away on how much more stable I was with excellent (read not cheap) boots. I insisted he get some too. He was against the idea, but when he tried them on in the store he was sold. His deal was better than min - originally they were $10 more and they'd taken $20 more off than mine. Great deal.
Last week I realized I deleted my exercise database by accident and I was really sad as it was on a USB drive and was pretty much gone. I recovered data through 1/10/08 and I found an old version of it on DH's computer. So I used the old version, added the data till 1/10/08, then used my food log to piece together the last 2 months. Most was easy. If it wasn't something other than walking, I remember the exercise thoroughly, so I think I'm back in action. That took a while.
Penny, I'm glad your back is feeling better. Did you ever get any answer what happened and how to avoid it in the future?
Well, I suppose it's time to work. I'll chat with you all later.
