Catching up here -- I've been busy :-).  Thursday night DH and I went
out for a fancy "chef's special" dinner at a local inn, and I went to
bed as soon as I got home as I had to get up at 3:30 a.m. on Friday to
catch a plane to Minneapolis.  Friday I flew there, spent time with
Tom and his family, and went out with them to a very nice seafood
restaurant.  Saturday we did the gym pictures, then went out for a big
brunch at a pancake house, then Tom took me to the airport and I flew
home, which took the rest of the day.  Sunday we went to my brother
and sister-in-law's home up in Maryland for a cookout with our
visiting niece and her family, including a new baby we hadn't met
before.  Yesterday I was just too tired to get my spreadsheet updated
:-).  Overall, this has been a time of a bit too much eating and too
little exercise.  I'm back on track now but leaving on Thursday to go
see my mom.  So much for routine!

Chris I'm impressed that you were able to keep such good track of everything.
Sounds like you had a fun but busy weekend

I've developed the ability -- not particularly by trying -- to
remember pretty well what I eat.  If I don't remember perfectly, it
doesn't really matter anyway.  It's still good for me to keep the
journal, I think.
