Back from Africa!

February 13, 2006

Well ... I've returned from my trip to Africa and thankfully 5 lbs lighter! I can't believe it. Especially since the last time I was there I definitly gained weight. Well note to self ... Walk around in 85 degree weather all day, drink unending amounts of bottles water and eat khale, lentils and mushrooms - voila lose 5 lbs in 10 days.

Next challenge ... keeping it off and continuing to move SOUTH on the scale. Until next time. - E

Off to Africa

Today, I leave for Africa. My second journey back to a land that stole my heart, only 2 years ago! My Volunteers On Call (www.volunteersoncall.org) collegue and I being our journey today at 5 AM (UGH!). I'm so not a morning person. We leave from JFK to head to Kenya via Dubai. Then later in the week pilgrimage up to Rwanda.

During this time away ... my ability to count points and manage my good weight watchers tips and goals is going to be ... a challenge if not impossible. So, I am hoping that all the walking will be a big help and that even though I am in a foreign land I can still make smart choices.

I'll keep you posted when I return in a week and half. Until then ... happy hunting!
