June 1: 213.8 Here we go!!!
June 2: 213.8… off to Cedar Point with the kids today! 🎢🎡
June 3: 213.7 I thought I’d be down much more today after walking 19,000 steps (8.2 miles yesterday…. But then I looked at what I ate throughout the day and reinforced that you can’t out exercise the junk you’ve eaten! June is back to basics for me. Lunch is 🥗… and it fills me up and makes me feel better about myself.
June 4 …213.8 McKenna’s Graduation! 👩🎓
June 5….213.9
June 6…214.5
June 7….214.8
June 8… 215.6 I have not been logging in regularly, and the scale shows it. The stress snack monster is in full swing, so it’s time to reign him back in. Too much to do to have time to spiral out of control with food. Time to focus on McKenna’s party.

June 11… Graduation party!
June 12
June 13
June 14….218.4 pounds… and it’s time to get back on track. The graduation party was fun and it was so nice to see friends and family… but no more stress eating. I let it fly and now it’s time to reign it back in. Here come the veggies!!
June 15…. 218.4 same weight… which is better than a gain. Finished logging from yesterday…progress. Weighed in for the second day of getting back to basics…progress. Gonna cut the grass and clean the pool before it hits the 90’s today. Happy Wednesday!!
June 16…218.2
June 17…217.9 Attended college orientation with my daughter yesterday. Only 2 months until college move in. 🙂🤣🙃🫠

Day/Weight/Comment
06/15 …..206.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/16 …..204.2 ….. (Trend weight 205.0)
06/17 …..203.2 ….. (Trend weight 204.8)
06/18 …..205.2 ….. (Trend weight 204.8) Closed out with great numbers last night, then had a glucose drop and ate a large bowl of cereal with low carb Fairlife milk very late last night. Showed up as 2 pounds this morning! No worries, still feeling this out and navigating how to work around my health issues. My resolve is still very strong.
06/19 …..203.0 ….. (Trend weight 204.7) A big drop overnight. I have to wonder how much my puff ups are from water retention based on the heart issues and how much the drops are from the water pill. I take the water pill about every other day except when traveling (for obvious reasons.). I’m going to be tracking this trend. I did take one yesterday. On another note, yesterday was a great day. My glucose drops tend to come more in the evening or at night so I delayed my meals all day. Breakfast at 11:30 am, lunch at 5:00 pm and dinner at 10:30 pm. I hated to eat that late (due to morning weigh-ins) but it seems to have worked. No drop last night and satisfied most of the day. I even fit in some exercise. About 17 min of aerobic dancing, a short 15 minute walk with inclines and stationary bike for 10 minutes. Keeping it safe until I know more about the heart situation, but it’s a start!

June 1-152.2 lbs- 6.6 lbs for May but not my most recent low.
June 2-153 lbs Logged in 385 days straight! Everyday since I started 5/14/21. Wearing size 6 Bermuda shorts to my hair appointment today. I've been able to put them on for about 2 months but wouldn't wear them out of the house before because of my overhanging flabby belly.
June 3-153 lbs
June 4-154.4 lbs Too many carbs yesterday. 2 sessions on the elliptical total 224 minutes for 20 miles, mowed the lawn for 2:03, a rider.
June 5-158 lbs Too many carbs last 2 days and sure it's water retention with them too. (Why do carbs have to be so tasty and addictive?) Did my Elliptical today, 167 minutes for 13.11 miles. My plan was to do another session later today but now my motivation is gone. Probably why I am better at long first sessions. I did add "girl" pushups, planks and just hanging from my son's pull up bar. To increase my strength. Not that I'm weak. (I'm a nurse and I pull even big guys up in beds for a living!) But I can always get stronger. Build up my muscle mass to burn more calories and fill out the flabby loose skin!
June 6-160.2 lbs A number I was hoping I would NEVER SEE AGAIN. :-(
June 7-161 :-( My own fault. Too many carbs. Did 188 minutes on my elliptical for 14.25 miles today and pushups/plank.
June 8-161 lbs
June 9-161 lbs
June 10-160 lbs Nice surprise because it wasn't because of me. Did 180 minutes on the Elliptical today for 14 miles.
I started feeling ill Monday pm. Cough, fever; 102.4, stuffed up. Took a Covid test Tuesday pm and it was negative. Fever down now running around 100. Today after the elliptical my nose hasn't stopped running. Took another Covid test in case other one was too early but this one also negative, Thank God. I had my vaccines and 1 booster. So I was hoping it wouldn't be that, but others with the vaccines have still gotten it. Just a REALLY ROTTEN late Spring cold now with sinus pressure and eyes keep watering. :-(
June 11-161 lbs Did Elliptical, 210 minutes for 16.3 miles. Feeling better than the last 3 days, hoping to feel even better tomorrow!
June 12-161 lbs. Did Elliptical 211 minutes for 16.2 miles. Feeling even better today. Mild symptoms now and back to work tomorrow.
Been MIA. I had to go to work everyday this past week, so first I have time to post. I did login though each day. No off days, so no exercise till today.
June 13-164 lbs
June 14-162.2 lbs
June 15-163.2 lbs
June 16-163 lbs
June 17-162 lbs
June 18-160.2 lbs Elliptical 242 minutes for 16.26 miles. My cold/runny nose/cough is still hanging on. I can't wait to feel normal again! Now to catch up on everyone's posts.
June 19-158.2 lbs :-) Elliptical 241 minutes for 18 miles. Wish my cough would get over!

June 1 - 166.2 (Slowly making my way back down to my maintenance range after my travel bloat. Happy to be starting here in a very similar spot to where I started May.)
June 2 - 165 (Busy day yesterday with work and a trip to the eye doctor, but I did squeeze 60 minutes of walking in on my lunch break and when we got home.)
June 3 - 162.8 (In a self sabotaging head space so I'm off to bed early.)
June 4 - 160.6 (After a night of sleep, I feel a lot better. Aiming to get 10,000 steps today and hopefully doing most of it before it pours rain.)
June 5 - 162.2 (Woke up to the sound of rain on the trailer. Coming down pretty hard. We need the rain for sure. My mom is in Afib and hasn't been able to come out with medication so when I get home her doc has asked that we go to the hospital, so I'm feeling anxious about that.)
June 6 - 160.4 (Worked from home, rode the Peloton at lunch, and then had a sleep apnea follow up appointment after work. Going to request a new sleep study to see if my weight loss has eliminated it.)
June 7 - 162.2 (Ate good meals and got over 15,000 steps today. Out of the office for corporate events the rest of the week so work was busy today getting everything prepared for that.)
June 8 - 162.2 (Today I am golfing with work for a customer event. First round of the year.)
June 9 - 160.8
June 10 - DNW
June 11 - 163.2 (Back at the lack for the weekend after a whirlwind two day business trip. I drank too much on the golf course the one day, but overall my choices were okay. One week till we leave for Vegas.)
June 12 - 163.4 (Super rainy day here at the lake. I haven't gotten more than 1,000 steps yet and it's already mid afternoon. I will make up my exercise later today but for now I'm just relaxing.)
June 13 - 162.2 (Rough day at work but I had a couples massage tonight and I'm feeling more zen.)
June 14 - 160.8 (I was tossing and turning before my alarm so I got up early and hopped on the Peloton. Love starting my day with exercise. It's super rainy here - will be doing my walking indoors at lunch.)
June 15 - 159.8 (Had a big day of exercise yesterday as I rode the Peloton a second time. Riding a bit ahead in my program since I'm away from my bike next week in Vegas.)
June 16 - 158.6 (Donated blood yesterday so I took it easy on the exercise front. Still got my 10,000 steps. Leaving for Vegas in two days so I'm still eating at a small deficit to create a bit of buffer for what I assume will be a small weight gain while I'm there.)
June 17 - 159 (Work is wrapped up and I got a few more outfits for Vegas. Still need to pack!)
June 18 - 160.8 (Vegas baby! Just about to take off. Looking forward to our getaway.)
June 19 - DNW (First 24 hours in Vegas has been great. I was able to use the hotel gym this morning for a Peloton workout. Getting tons of steps too.)

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

06/18.…..205.2…..(Trend Weight 204.8)….. Closed out with great numbers last night, then had a glucose drop and ate a large bowl of cereal with low carb Fairlife milk very late last night. Showed up as 2 pounds this morning! No worries, still feeling this out and navigating how to work around my health issues. My resolve is still very strong.
06/19.…..203.0…..(Trend Weight 204.7)….. A big drop overnight. I have to wonder how much my puff ups are from water retention based on the heart issues and how much the drops are from the water pill. I take the water pill about every other day except when traveling (for obvious reasons.). I’m going to be tracking this trend. I did take one yesterday. On another note, yesterday was a great day. My glucose drops tend to come more in the evening or at night so I delayed my meals all day. Breakfast at 11:30 am, lunch at 5:00 pm and dinner at 10:30 pm. I hated to eat that late (due to morning weigh-ins) but it seems to have worked. No drop last night and satisfied most of the day. I even fit in some exercise. About 17 min of aerobic dancing, a short 15 minute walk with inclines and stationary bike for 10 minutes. Keeping it safe until I know more about the heart situation, but it’s a start!
06/20.…..204.0…..(Trend Weight 204.6)….. This has been my best week in a long time as far as determination goes. I dropped 1.6 lbs, but more importantly, my resolve has been pretty good. I am navigating what is working best for me. In the past I have done strict Keto and changing over to calories in/calories out with a watchful eye on my carb intake is definitely different, but I’m figuring it all out. I am also focusing on spreading my food out better to prevent night time binges, and eating slower. I have been treating all my food like it’s popcorn (you know how we stuff our mouths full?). Eating is not a race and who gets done first should have stopped by the end of grammar school! I ate back my calories of exercise last night and I see what happened with the scale, even though I was in the green. Learning……

June 1-152.2 lbs- 6.6 lbs for May but not my most recent low.
June 2-153 lbs Logged in 385 days straight! Everyday since I started 5/14/21. Wearing size 6 Bermuda shorts to my hair appointment today. I've been able to put them on for about 2 months but wouldn't wear them out of the house before because of my overhanging flabby belly.
June 3-153 lbs
June 4-154.4 lbs Too many carbs yesterday. 2 sessions on the elliptical total 224 minutes for 20 miles, mowed the lawn for 2:03, a rider.
June 5-158 lbs Too many carbs last 2 days and sure it's water retention with them too. (Why do carbs have to be so tasty and addictive?) Did my Elliptical today, 167 minutes for 13.11 miles. My plan was to do another session later today but now my motivation is gone. Probably why I am better at long first sessions. I did add "girl" pushups, planks and just hanging from my son's pull up bar. To increase my strength. Not that I'm weak. (I'm a nurse and I pull even big guys up in beds for a living!) But I can always get stronger. Build up my muscle mass to burn more calories and fill out the flabby loose skin!
June 6-160.2 lbs A number I was hoping I would NEVER SEE AGAIN. :-(
June 7-161 :-( My own fault. Too many carbs. Did 188 minutes on my elliptical for 14.25 miles today and pushups/plank.
June 8-161 lbs
June 9-161 lbs
June 10-160 lbs Nice surprise because it wasn't because of me. Did 180 minutes on the Elliptical today for 14 miles.
I started feeling ill Monday pm. Cough, fever; 102.4, stuffed up. Took a Covid test Tuesday pm and it was negative. Fever down now running around 100. Today after the elliptical my nose hasn't stopped running. Took another Covid test in case other one was too early but this one also negative, Thank God. I had my vaccines and 1 booster. So I was hoping it wouldn't be that, but others with the vaccines have still gotten it. Just a REALLY ROTTEN late Spring cold now with sinus pressure and eyes keep watering. :-(
June 11-161 lbs Did Elliptical, 210 minutes for 16.3 miles. Feeling better than the last 3 days, hoping to feel even better tomorrow!
June 12-161 lbs. Did Elliptical 211 minutes for 16.2 miles. Feeling even better today. Mild symptoms now and back to work tomorrow.
Been MIA. I had to go to work everyday this past week, so first I have time to post. I did login though each day. No off days, so no exercise till today.
June 13-164 lbs
June 14-162.2 lbs
June 15-163.2 lbs
June 16-163 lbs
June 17-162 lbs
June 18-160.2 lbs Elliptical 242 minutes for 16.26 miles. My cold/runny nose/cough is still hanging on. I can't wait to feel normal again! Now to catch up on everyone's posts.
June 19-158.2 lbs :-) Elliptical 241 minutes for 18 miles. Wish my cough would get over with!
June 20-159.4 lbs :-( Not sure why. I stayed within my guidelines but ate some extra because of the exercise. Oh well. Just need to stay the course and see.

June 1 - 166.2 (Slowly making my way back down to my maintenance range after my travel bloat. Happy to be starting here in a very similar spot to where I started May.)
June 2 - 165 (Busy day yesterday with work and a trip to the eye doctor, but I did squeeze 60 minutes of walking in on my lunch break and when we got home.)
June 3 - 162.8 (In a self sabotaging head space so I'm off to bed early.)
June 4 - 160.6 (After a night of sleep, I feel a lot better. Aiming to get 10,000 steps today and hopefully doing most of it before it pours rain.)
June 5 - 162.2 (Woke up to the sound of rain on the trailer. Coming down pretty hard. We need the rain for sure. My mom is in Afib and hasn't been able to come out with medication so when I get home her doc has asked that we go to the hospital, so I'm feeling anxious about that.)
June 6 - 160.4 (Worked from home, rode the Peloton at lunch, and then had a sleep apnea follow up appointment after work. Going to request a new sleep study to see if my weight loss has eliminated it.)
June 7 - 162.2 (Ate good meals and got over 15,000 steps today. Out of the office for corporate events the rest of the week so work was busy today getting everything prepared for that.)
June 8 - 162.2 (Today I am golfing with work for a customer event. First round of the year.)
June 9 - 160.8
June 10 - DNW
June 11 - 163.2 (Back at the lack for the weekend after a whirlwind two day business trip. I drank too much on the golf course the one day, but overall my choices were okay. One week till we leave for Vegas.)
June 12 - 163.4 (Super rainy day here at the lake. I haven't gotten more than 1,000 steps yet and it's already mid afternoon. I will make up my exercise later today but for now I'm just relaxing.)
June 13 - 162.2 (Rough day at work but I had a couples massage tonight and I'm feeling more zen.)
June 14 - 160.8 (I was tossing and turning before my alarm so I got up early and hopped on the Peloton. Love starting my day with exercise. It's super rainy here - will be doing my walking indoors at lunch.)
June 15 - 159.8 (Had a big day of exercise yesterday as I rode the Peloton a second time. Riding a bit ahead in my program since I'm away from my bike next week in Vegas.)
June 16 - 158.6 (Donated blood yesterday so I took it easy on the exercise front. Still got my 10,000 steps. Leaving for Vegas in two days so I'm still eating at a small deficit to create a bit of buffer for what I assume will be a small weight gain while I'm there.)
June 17 - 159 (Work is wrapped up and I got a few more outfits for Vegas. Still need to pack!)
June 18 - 160.8 (Vegas baby! Just about to take off. Looking forward to our getaway.)
June 19 - DNW (First 24 hours in Vegas has been great. I was able to use the hotel gym this morning for a Peloton workout. Getting tons of steps too.)
June 20 - DNW (The steps keep on coming. We had a large supper yesterday but until then my food was reasonable. Saw The Blue Man Group after doing some outlet mall shopping.)
June 21 - DNW (Started the day with a treadmill and strength workout, had some good BBQ, a trip to Fremont, and then dinner and the Michael Jackson Cirque du Soleil show. Really enjoying my vacation.)

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
Starting Weight (from May 31st): 203.4
Goal: 198.4 (Five lb Loss)

06/17.…..203.2…..(Trend Weight 204.8)…..
06/18.…..205.2…..(Trend Weight 204.8)….. Closed out with great numbers last night, then had a glucose drop and ate a large bowl of cereal with low carb Fairlife milk very late last night. Showed up as 2 pounds this morning! No worries, still feeling this out and navigating how to work around my health issues. My resolve is still very strong.
06/19.…..203.0…..(Trend Weight 204.7)….. A big drop overnight. I have to wonder how much my puff ups are from water retention based on the heart issues and how much the drops are from the water pill. I take the water pill about every other day except when traveling (for obvious reasons.). I’m going to be tracking this trend. I did take one yesterday. On another note, yesterday was a great day. My glucose drops tend to come more in the evening or at night so I delayed my meals all day. Breakfast at 11:30 am, lunch at 5:00 pm and dinner at 10:30 pm. I hated to eat that late (due to morning weigh-ins) but it seems to have worked. No drop last night and satisfied most of the day. I even fit in some exercise. About 17 min of aerobic dancing, a short 15 minute walk with inclines and stationary bike for 10 minutes. Keeping it safe until I know more about the heart situation, but it’s a start!
06/20.…..204.0…..(Trend Weight 204.6)….. This has been my best week in a long time as far as determination goes. I dropped 1.6 lbs, but more importantly, my resolve has been pretty good. I am navigating what is working best for me. In the past I have done strict Keto and changing over to calories in/calories out with a watchful eye on my carb intake is definitely different, but I’m figuring it all out. I am also focusing on spreading my food out better to prevent night time binges, and eating slower. I have been treating all my food like it’s popcorn (you know how we stuff our mouths full?). Eating is not a race and who gets done first should have stopped by the end of grammar school! I ate back my calories of exercise last night and I see what happened with the scale, even though I was in the green. Learning……
06/21.…..202.2…..(Trend Weight 204.4)….. No water pill yesterday so I am happy to see such a nice overnight drop after a day of such restriction. It was a very good day on the diet front, but lousy on the movement front. Today I travel to finish the root canal (if tooth is not cracked down inside). It is expected to hit 100 degrees today, very unusual for northern Michigan. Thank God I will be out of town where there will be A/C in the drs office, the stores, the restaurant and in my car. I am taking my son to a steak house which is a real treat for us. Nothing like that around home! I will try to order something small but I’m not gonna lie, I know I will enjoy the sides. I will not be bring donuts home! The city I go to has the best…… oh, never mind!

June 1-152.2 lbs- 6.6 lbs for May but not my most recent low.
June 2-153 lbs Logged in 385 days straight! Everyday since I started 5/14/21. Wearing size 6 Bermuda shorts to my hair appointment today. I've been able to put them on for about 2 months but wouldn't wear them out of the house before because of my overhanging flabby belly.
June 3-153 lbs
June 4-154.4 lbs Too many carbs yesterday. 2 sessions on the elliptical total 224 minutes for 20 miles, mowed the lawn for 2:03, a rider.
June 5-158 lbs Too many carbs last 2 days and sure it's water retention with them too. (Why do carbs have to be so tasty and addictive?) Did my Elliptical today, 167 minutes for 13.11 miles. My plan was to do another session later today but now my motivation is gone. Probably why I am better at long first sessions. I did add "girl" pushups, planks and just hanging from my son's pull up bar. To increase my strength. Not that I'm weak. (I'm a nurse and I pull even big guys up in beds for a living!) But I can always get stronger. Build up my muscle mass to burn more calories and fill out the flabby loose skin!
June 6-160.2 lbs A number I was hoping I would NEVER SEE AGAIN. :-(
June 7-161 :-( My own fault. Too many carbs. Did 188 minutes on my elliptical for 14.25 miles today and pushups/plank.
June 8-161 lbs
June 9-161 lbs
June 10-160 lbs Nice surprise because it wasn't because of me. Did 180 minutes on the Elliptical today for 14 miles.
I started feeling ill Monday pm. Cough, fever; 102.4, stuffed up. Took a Covid test Tuesday pm and it was negative. Fever down now running around 100. Today after the elliptical my nose hasn't stopped running. Took another Covid test in case other one was too early but this one also negative, Thank God. I had my vaccines and 1 booster. So I was hoping it wouldn't be that, but others with the vaccines have still gotten it. Just a REALLY ROTTEN late Spring cold now with sinus pressure and eyes keep watering. :-(
June 11-161 lbs Did Elliptical, 210 minutes for 16.3 miles. Feeling better than the last 3 days, hoping to feel even better tomorrow!
June 12-161 lbs. Did Elliptical 211 minutes for 16.2 miles. Feeling even better today. Mild symptoms now and back to work tomorrow.
Been MIA. I had to go to work everyday this past week, so first I have time to post. I did login though each day. No off days, so no exercise till today.
June 13-164 lbs
June 14-162.2 lbs
June 15-163.2 lbs
June 16-163 lbs
June 17-162 lbs
June 18-160.2 lbs Elliptical 242 minutes for 16.26 miles. My cold/runny nose/cough is still hanging on. I can't wait to feel normal again! Now to catch up on everyone's posts.
June 19-158.2 lbs :-) Elliptical 241 minutes for 18 miles. Wish my cough would get over with!
June 20-159.4 lbs :-( Not sure why. I stayed within my guidelines but ate some extra because of the exercise. Oh well. Just need to stay the course and see.
June 21-157 lbs. Least it's heading back down again!!! My usual elliptical but today I felt good at 18 miles so I continued to 26.25 miles once again. This time my pace was slower so it took me 372 minutes. When I did it before, May 29,2022, it was 337 minutes. About a 14+ minutes/mile compared to sub 13 minutes/mile the earlier time.

🌼 Intentional exercise for a minimum of 20 minutes per day
June 1 - 166.2 (Slowly making my way back down to my maintenance range after my travel bloat. Happy to be starting here in a very similar spot to where I started May.)
June 2 - 165 (Busy day yesterday with work and a trip to the eye doctor, but I did squeeze 60 minutes of walking in on my lunch break and when we got home.)
June 3 - 162.8 (In a self sabotaging head space so I'm off to bed early.)
June 4 - 160.6 (After a night of sleep, I feel a lot better. Aiming to get 10,000 steps today and hopefully doing most of it before it pours rain.)
June 5 - 162.2 (Woke up to the sound of rain on the trailer. Coming down pretty hard. We need the rain for sure. My mom is in Afib and hasn't been able to come out with medication so when I get home her doc has asked that we go to the hospital, so I'm feeling anxious about that.)
June 6 - 160.4 (Worked from home, rode the Peloton at lunch, and then had a sleep apnea follow up appointment after work. Going to request a new sleep study to see if my weight loss has eliminated it.)
June 7 - 162.2 (Ate good meals and got over 15,000 steps today. Out of the office for corporate events the rest of the week so work was busy today getting everything prepared for that.)
June 8 - 162.2 (Today I am golfing with work for a customer event. First round of the year.)
June 9 - 160.8
June 10 - DNW
June 11 - 163.2 (Back at the lack for the weekend after a whirlwind two day business trip. I drank too much on the golf course the one day, but overall my choices were okay. One week till we leave for Vegas.)
June 12 - 163.4 (Super rainy day here at the lake. I haven't gotten more than 1,000 steps yet and it's already mid afternoon. I will make up my exercise later today but for now I'm just relaxing.)
June 13 - 162.2 (Rough day at work but I had a couples massage tonight and I'm feeling more zen.)
June 14 - 160.8 (I was tossing and turning before my alarm so I got up early and hopped on the Peloton. Love starting my day with exercise. It's super rainy here - will be doing my walking indoors at lunch.)
June 15 - 159.8 (Had a big day of exercise yesterday as I rode the Peloton a second time. Riding a bit ahead in my program since I'm away from my bike next week in Vegas.)
June 16 - 158.6 (Donated blood yesterday so I took it easy on the exercise front. Still got my 10,000 steps. Leaving for Vegas in two days so I'm still eating at a small deficit to create a bit of buffer for what I assume will be a small weight gain while I'm there.)
June 17 - 159 (Work is wrapped up and I got a few more outfits for Vegas. Still need to pack!)
June 18 - 160.8 (Vegas baby! Just about to take off. Looking forward to our getaway.)
June 19 - DNW (First 24 hours in Vegas has been great. I was able to use the hotel gym this morning for a Peloton workout. Getting tons of steps too.)
June 20 - DNW (The steps keep on coming. We had a large supper yesterday but until then my food was reasonable. Saw The Blue Man Group after doing some outlet mall shopping.)
June 21 - DNW (Started the day with a treadmill and strength workout, had some good BBQ, a trip to Fremont, and then dinner and the Michael Jackson Cirque du Soleil show. Really enjoying my vacation.)
June 22 - DNW (Treadmill and exercise bike to start yesterday, followed by our friends celebrating their 25th anniversary with a Vegas vow renewal. We left them after drinks and hubby and I went to Hell's Kitchen for a delicious and very indulgent meal.)
