There and Back ****** 04/16/09 ******

Apr 15, 2009

My trip back home to Arkansas has come and gone.   I was there for nearly week and I can't believe how fast the time went by.  I was able to surprise family and friends with the weight loss.  They were all amazed at the change.  I think I did good with the eating back home.  I tried a few different things and discovered some foods that I can't tolerate right now.  I was able to eat pickles but not cucumbers, I did good with toast ( nearly burnt ) but I was able to eat it.  I only did about 1/2 of the toast.  I did eat some salad while I was home.  It tasted so good and I was so happy to be eating a tomato again.  I was a little sad, of all things I have trouble with mushrooms !!!  I can't figure that one out for the life of me. 

I have to confess, I don't think I like driving long distances anymore.  This trip was a little over 14 hours one way and I think I felt every mile of it.  The drive was really nice but just toooooooooooooooooo long and what a change in weather.  I left the Cleveland area in the middle of a large snowfall and ended the drive for the day with the A./C on in the car.  The drive took me through Columbus, Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville, Memphis, Little Rock and finally home in Pine Bluff.  The landscape went from SNOW to Full blown spring.  I took the dogs with me and they did so good on the ride.  They were just as tired as I was on both legs of the trip. 

I am going to stop this entry now... my  mind has gone totally blank
