Back from camping!
I'm back from camping, and it was a fun trip.
I did gain a little less than a pound but I'm not discouraged. I got in a lot of walking, I bought a pedometer and averaged over 10,000 steps a day. A lot of those were up and down hill, and at the 8,000 foot level. Last time I was camping was 70+ pounds ago, and there is a big difference in a lot of things. For one, it used to be difficult for me to get dressed inside the tent and make my way out the door. It's no problem now. I also used to "run hot" and be overheated all the time, even to the point where I would steam up the car's windows in the mornings (and not from passion). Not anymore. I kept to my prepackaged meals, but next time I'll include fresh veggies and some milk servings. I also think the sodium levels in my choices were way higher than what I'm used to. Anyway, it's good to be back. -- Dewolla Stepon 268/199.9/199 - Phase 1 199/199.9/175 - Phase 2 154 at age 28 285 at age 53 |

Anyway, it's good to be back. Good to see you back Dewolla. We go camping every year and your words reminded me of the discomfort when I was at my maximum weight. One problem I had was that we have these snug sleeping bags (nights are often very cold here, even in summer) and I used to have a real problem getting mine zipped up, as well as moving when I wanted to turn over in the night - the whole bag had to turn over with me. When my weight is less, I find I can turn over within the bag and it stays where it is which is much more comfortable. janice |

Back from camping!
Welcome back! Anyone who gained less than a pound on vacation shouldn't be
one bit discouraged. If your sodium levels were higher you might see a slight loss in the next few days. Beverly "Dewolla Stepon" wrote in message newsxxHc.47799$a24.23316@attbi_s03...

This reminds me of something I've been observing this summer. I always used to really hate the heat. (And in Virginia, there's plenty of it. It gets up to around 90 almost every day :-).) I could never have imagined taking long noonday walks in the summer months. Now I actually enjoy the feel of the sun on my body, and don't mind walking in the heat. I am really liking summer for the first time since I can remember! Chris 262/144/ (145-150) |

.. . Welcome back! Anyone who gained less than a pound on vacation shouldn't be one bit discouraged. If your sodium levels were higher you might see a slight loss in the next few days. I think the water weight is already starting to come off. It's good to be back into my old routines again! - Dewolla "Dewolla Stepon" wrote in message newsxxHc.47799$a24.23316@attbi_s03...
