I'm back... and boy, do I have a tale to tell!
So... A LOT has happened since I last wrote. My break turned out to be a bit longer than I was intending it to be!
But the good news is it's definitely been productive. I finally started a diet some time back in January. Started eating healthier, drinking more water, cutting back on junk, exercising, taking a yoga class, etc., etc. For the first time in my life, I was able to stick with it and actually see results. And I'm proud to report that I've lost about 15-16 pounds. Only ten more pounds to go and I would have been at my goal weight. Notice I said "would have."
I made a goal a month or so ago that when I reached 15 lbs, I was going to reward myself by buying a new Quilted Keepers purse. (they're similar to Vera Bradleys for any purse whores out there!) Finally, this week, I reached my goal. Yahoo for me!
But I haven't gone out and bought a new purse yet.
"Why?" you might ask.
Well, I've had other things on my mind this week. Unexpectedly, I got another "reward" for my weight loss.
Take a look see.
Yep, that's right. All the weight I lost and then some is coming right back.
If that doesn't prove God has a sense of humor, I don't know what does.

Wow, Cathy! What a surprise you got this week. Congratulations on the weight loss, and the upcoming event. I'm sure that the weight loss had something to do with the latter. They say that even a small weight loss can trigger a hormone surge and voila!
