I'm back! Look what I have!

[tiggerlover]

I am happy to present for the very first time......my new clippie!!

It seems like I have coveted this clippie for so long, hard to believe I am finally claiming it. It is also hard to believe that it is mine after a month long vacation, but I am proud to say it is. I weighed in this morning and I am down two pounds since leaving June 23rd, I am happy to see this because it was my original intent to just maintain. Also, I ate while I was home, I enjoyed most of the things that I wanted, especially vanilla custard (on a number of ocassions), but I still had the knowledge of everything I learned here on WISH and I made better choices along with my splurges. Also, I didn't stick to a exercise routine (shopping the malls doesn't really count ) and even though I brought my 5 lb. weights home with me I only used them 4-5 times. I have to say I journaled faithfully until July 4th weekend and then I gave it up because there was too much going on and I filled in the last pages of my journal. So as soon as I unpack the new journal it is back to program for me.

It has been a long month and I have missed my WISH buddies so much! I arrived home yesterday afternoon and I am still fighting jet lag so I haven't had a chance to read the boards, how is everyone doing? I can't wait to read up on what everyone has been up to!! Vacations are great, but it is good to be home again.

One last thing before I sign off, I was surprised to find a lot of DIS mail waiting for me when I got in yesterday. I thank you all, you know who you are and as soon as I am caught up I will be in touch with you personally.

Have a great day everyone!!

I was going through Tigger withdrawl!!! CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW CLIPPIE!!!!!! That is fantastic! A whole month "on vacation" and you lost 2 pounds and still enjoyed yummy foods (like vanilla custard, YUM!)

I hope you are all settled back in at your "home" away from "home". Hopefully the days aren't as hot as they were before you left. Sending "get back into your groove" pixie dust your way!
