Time to get moving again!
I'm back from 2-weeks of vacay. Already miss the beach and sunshine. Came back to a loooooad of email/tasks at work. It's like shoveling beach sand with a teaspoon. Only gained 3 lbs on vacation (a gift) and am back in the saddle with MFP. Tomorrow, November 17th, I will begin Week 6, Day 1. Is anybody at that point yet?
