Hi all, I am stopping in after days away! I wasn't even able to check my email for days as we worked very hard. 4-5 hours of sleep a night, constantly working. One day my tracker hit almost 30,000 steps, and those were with lifting, moving things, running upstars, etc. I also did not have much time (or appetite) to eat (it was hot as well). The good news is I think I finally lost the four pounds I gained, which is almost a size on me. The bad news is we wore ourselves out so much that we all got bad colds. Still recovering.
We are at my sister's house now in MD, wrapping up hopefully everything we need to do before leaving. And we are flying to Portugal Monday! I have my bands, sliders, and yoga mat in one of my suitcases. And I know I will be walking a lot there. I think with the very fresh produce, lots of fish, and better breads (gluten-intolerant people can eat bread there), etc., we will be feeling pretty good healthwise there hopefully. Also DH was able to get some help that seems to be clearing up his psoriasis skin at long last, so he feels he can wear short sleeves again and not be embarrassed by issues. Hopefully it continues to work.
I met Fan of Lady Vols, and she took my box of dvds. She is the first VF-er I've met IRL. She said there were 70 in my box! That was surprising. She is keeping 22 and sending the rest to people who request them. I appreciate her being the ambassador for that.
I will post again later! We are also planning to start a Youtube channel, so I'll let you know when that is up and running, in case you want to see where we are and all.
Cheryl
