So glad to be a homebody again. I greatly enjoyed all the time with my husband the past 3 days - we've been hiking in Mt. Rainier National Park, out to eat each day, and spent all of yesterday walking around Portland. I've had my exercise!!

My weight has swung up to 188.8 today, but I know it's not what I ate..just not enough water and the eating out. I expect to see it heading down nicely for the rest of this week (though I do have larger than usual carb dessert planned for the next several days).

My rm birthday dinner worked out so well. After walking around the International Rose Test gardens for over an hour, and visiting several places we wanted to see in Portland, we went out for an early dinner before the several hour drive home.
I had an elk burger with a tiny side salad. I had brought a small dessert in the car with me (some nut candy), and that was the meal except for 2 oz. half and half in my coffee. I'd had a very modest cm breakfast, and no lunch.
