Chapter 2 - Day 1B

Day ??  - Let's Start Chapter 2 - Day 1B
I'm back - what a crazy few weeks it's been!  I took a week long trip to see family/friends in Holland which included a trip to Amsterdam - now that is one crazy ass place to visit.  Coffee shops that don't sell coffee but do sell a variety of things to smoke.  Window shopping for scantily clad women and last but not least ~ live shows...  look that one up.  Quite a detour off the path of the one traffic light town I come from but an extremely fun detour.
Next on my list is this little Memorial Day Parade I've stepped in too coordinate after my parents ran it for 21 years.  This is my 2nd year since the "takeover" and we don't have enough time for me to tell you what running this little parade entails.  It's the largest Memorial Day Parade in the State of PA and over 5,000 people come out to watch it (our town's population is about 4,800).  It's the epitome of small town America.  Needless to say it takes up a large portion of my time beginning in Feb/March and becomes completely consuming during the month of May - hence the trip to Holland to regain some sanity in the middle of it all (and the fact that I have an absolutely amazing committee of 6 other women helping me).
So, my diet has been on hold.  The good news - I have kept off the 20 pounds.  The bad news is I have stopped working on losing more.  I have justified that by telling myself that this is my crazy, busy month and maybe that's true but the fact is that I don't want to give up and although I hate to say this I'm going to  - come Monday, OK, maybe Tuesday, I'm back on track.  I'm signing up for Weight Watchers and off we go on the next journey to lose the next 20 pounds of myself.  I sure hope it's a part I want to lose - like my thighs, belly, or lovely arm flab.  But my guess is it will slide away from my wrists or ankles or I'll get to buy a smaller bra size - yeah!!!  I guess it's worth the risk.
It's good to be back - I've missed you!
