Wow! Volume 12! Awesome!!
Well, even though I've been back at school for a week for meetings, classes officially start tomorrow, so tomorrow is the real beginning of the fall semester and the real end of my summer.
In answer to the question (although I never really answer it this way to anyone but y'all and my family....) "what did you do for your summer vacation" my answer is... I did IP and lost 26 pounds!! I got healthier and stopped drinking diet cokes and eating enormous amounts of processed cheese and meats!
I course, I also took my trips, hung out with the twin grandbabies and my daughters, etc., but the main thing is that I lost some of my weight and found 3fc. Even though I don't post every day anymore, I read the thread and it gives me great support and inspiration!
I went down a couple of sizes and am a little over a third of the way to my goal. It was a wonderful, productive summer!!

Yes the cryfest has been here all month and the hardest part is still to come! I am insanely proud...fear my heart will burst. BUT, I will survive to lose the last third of my weight goal! Hooray to us all. IP rocks for me!
Tripmama,[/B] congrats on getting your trips off to college! That is an amazing accomplishment! Today I went to our freshmen convocation and could feel the excitement of all these young people beginning a new chapter in their lives. And we, too, are entering into a new realm as we head closer to our healthy, happy weight goals! Congrats on yours!

I am making rhubarb "crisp" tonight as a delightful change!!...Walked right by all the temptations at the amusement park, zoo, museum....watched my kids and DH eat blizzards at the DQ and was happy with 2 water bottles!
Congrats on this NSV of staying 100% on vacation!
Sounds like you did great!!
It's fun to go away and it's fun to get back home. I'm really enjoying cooking my soups for lunch after being away for 2 weeks!

Ain't that the truth.... I wonder why we need to defend our food. Last night I was out to dinner (sushi - sashimi) with a friend and I asked for a salad, no dressing and no carrots, because I know they put shredded carrots on their salad. MY friend gave me the third degree about why I can't eat carrots. Sigh. Welcome home and you did great!!!
Have a great week, everyone!
