Windy, rainy, stormy weather today -- at least I feel better than I did yesterday!  Worked REALLY hard in dynaerobics and it was humid so we were sweating buckets (good thing I bring a towel)!

I've watched the last couple of years how our mothers don't eat and the impact that has had on their bodies.  Both of our mothers have limited what they've eaten and in the last year or so, they've limited it to an extreme.  My mother lived most of her adult life on cigarettes, diet coke, and saltines; she is tall and was slim and athletic.  My mother-in-law lived on booze and chicken fingers and salad; she is very small and has zero body fat.  They both ravaged their bodies with what they ate, drank, and smoked.  I don't smoke and rarely drink (just personal choices); my vice has been eating.  I'm curious how I'll eat when I'm their age -- I hope I'll still enjoy food as much as I do now so no one will have to beg me to eat...........

We were gone for about two weeks and I really am pleased with how I ate and how much exercise I got while gone.  I was able to bicycle almost every day, walk fast with the dogs, play on the beach.  And best of all, when I went to WW last week as a visitor and I lost weight!!  Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!
