Hi Guys! I am back from New Orleans. I had a great trip and lots of fun at the conference and with people I don't get a chance to see often, but really like. I also ran into a dear old friend who I spent a lot of time with and was super happy to see. Turns out he has moved fairly close to where I live and I am planning a trip to visit him and his wife in the fall. It was hard to be away from Iz (cried more than once) but everyone survived.
I did ok on eating, not great. It really is impossible to stay within points when eating out three meals a day for 3 days. I chose a light lunch (baked potatoes two days, salad one day) and ate reasonable suppers (pasta both nights). Breakfast was probably the hardest, the only options were starbucks, starbucks or starbucks. And a starbucks muffin is 10 points (just looked it up.) And of course I had a drink both nights with my old friends. Oh well.
The good news is that I was walking and standing for much of the day. On Wednesday, I wore my pedometer and walked over 12 miles! I am tired and sore, and need a serious soak in the tub.
We will be cleaning most of the weekend and preparing for house guests that arrive on Tuesday.
