Well, while I thank you all for your congratulations at losing 5 lbs in January I must tell you, after indulgence day my scale is up 7 lbs!!! Holy smokes batgirl!!!
Contraband was okay. Not horrible, not fantastic ... just okay. I'm picky about my movies though.
Looks like we are going to plan a vacation to Sedona, Arizona with a little stay in Las Vegas. Can't really afford the Mexico trip with airfare at $1000 each ... so we're going to try something closer to home. I have a couple of coupons on Southwest and we can get a place in Sedona for $200 for a week. It won't be warm but it will be different scenery and we can go to the Grand Canyon and Bryce National Park from Sedona. It's a last minute sort of deal but mom is getting ready to head back to her sisters for several months so we have to go now or we'll be out of luck!!
I did well yesterday with food although I didn't exercise due to setting my new alarm clock wrong. I did get in 30 minutes this morning though so that is good. AND ... my Eddie Bauer cords are on my body this morning!!! They have been too tight. I was pleased to put them on today. So ... I must be making progress even if the scale is up. I'm sure it is artificial ... just a part of all the sodium and goodies I had.
My really busy day just got easier today. A cancellation this morning which is good since I have a pile of paperwork to catch up on. Hubby is bringing mom to town with him when he comes to work this afternoon so she can get her hair done. I'll pick her up from the hairdresser's and take her home with me. We've had no new snow but everything is super icy.
Time to get to it I suppose. I hope all is well in your respective worlds. Remember to be kind to yourselves ... ALWAYS ... but especially if you feel you have wandered off your path or you aren't seeing the progress you'd like to see. It is at those times that kindness has the greatest impact.
Grateful I am today for ...
... last minute plans for a getaway trip for my hubby and I
... not letting the scale fluctuations bring me down
... the flexibility to plan a vacation at the last minute
... beautiful view of the lake on my drive in today
... reconnecting with an "old" friend via FB last night!!!
Take care!!!
I've had no close encounters of the 4-legged kind lately and for that I am grateful.

7 lb - yikes your body is too responsive - wow, but you know its just a fluc and that fluc's don't stay (thank goodness). Discouraging though when the scale doesn't show what it should. Sigh. I hear you Carol, but tomorrow is another day and you know within the next few days it should be back to 'normal' or a new low. Glad you and hubby are going to have a few days away, wish for you it was warmer but happy its not Mexico with all I see on the news these days about Mexican holidays, I prefer my friends to stay away from there. See you tomorrow on here!

Good morning, Carol. The vacation sounds fabulous. I love the Grand Canyon! As for the 7 pounds, it will be gone in a matter of days!! Hugs and lots of love my friend! You are beautiful!!!

Thanks Stef and Isabel!! I'm not overly concerned with the 7 lbs ... what goes up must come down!!! I'm less stressed about weighing a certain amount than I used to be ... well today I am less stressed I make no promises about tomorrow!! Love Mexico and we've never had a problem there. Of course we don't go to the really hot spots either. The real trip we want to take is to Ecuador ... must save our nickels and dimes for that airfare too!!! Staying there is pretty inexpensive but getting there is pricey!!

Hi Moose, happy you are coming to my land. You can come down here for a taste of Mexico. It just misses a beach :( but its only 2 hours away. Sedona is beautiful, have you been before. I only went once 5 yrs ago. My husband is scared of Mexico too. Love your attitude towards the upfluct.

Hub has been to Sedona but not me. I hope it doesn't snow on us!! LOL!! I am really looking forward to the trip. Made all the reservations today. A little sensory overload in Vegas and then lots of beautiful scenery, time to talk, oh we really need some time away!!

Su and I were just talking about one of our fav holidays last night! We went last year at Thanksgiving. It was wonderful. Stayed in Sedona for a few days and then drove to Grand Canyon. Drove through a blizzard in the mountains near Flagstaff-scary and beautiful at same time. Will never forget it. Try Elote Cafe in Sedona-excellent food. I am with Sharon-you will see a net loss by week's end. Water, water, water.

lol I hope you get the warm sun too. Are you coming soon? It doesn't snow that often there, cold nights but the sun should warm up in the day.

Cindy is right. When we got to the Canyon, it was white out, but by lunchtime, the sun was out and it was absolutely stunning and warm!
