    BIG whooshie visit!

    I worked extra, extra hard to stay on plan during my Christmas visit with the folks. In spite of the back injury, I did get in quite a lot of walking time, as well. I didn't have my scale there, so I didn't weigh myself during the two weeks. When I weighed this morning, I had dropped 5.5 pounds!!

    I'll try to not break my arm as I pat myself on the back, but, I'll be honest, I am proud that I avoided some pretty darn tough temptation.

      well done
      Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
      he said, 'Don't count calories.'

                        No problem! Until your post, I'd never noticed that you were in Italy. In what part of that beautiful country are you located? A few years ago I worked for several weeks in our offices in Naples, and then a few weeks more in Sicily, and totally fell in love with both Italy and the Italians.

                          I live in Umbria Chris...in the countryside, between Rome and Florence. Been here for many, many years and still love it. Glad you enjoyed your time in Naples and Sicily. I too go down to Sicily frequently... the Aeolian Islands, which are technically part of Sicily, though the islanders don't think of themselves as Sicilians. As for Naples... oh boy! What a city of contrasts!

                            Years?!! I'm so jealous! I wasn't exactly wild about Naples (though there were many parts that I did like) but it was a great jumping off point for the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Pompei, Herculano, etc. Also took a day trip to Rome and the Isle of Capri. As for Sicily, Taormina was amazing!

                            You are truly Blessed!
