Food & Exercise -- 10/18/2003 - 10/21/2003

Well, we're back from Pennsylvania. We had a good, though brief,
vacation with my mother-in-law -- had dinner at her home Saturday
night with Bob's brother and his sons (SIL was away on a business
trip), then took her to an inn in Buck's County for two nights.

As far as eating goes, I indulged some but not too badly -- never went
crazy :-). I had hoped to do some exercise at least one day and never
got the chance -- no facilities at the inn, and really no time without
taking it away from DH & MIL. We did do a bunch of walking on Monday,
including climbing lots of stairs at a museum. And we walked around
shopping a fair bit. And I used the stairs all the time in the inn
going to and from our 3rd floor room. But it wasn't much. Back to
the gym tomorrow morning, though.

Here's what I ate:

8:45 (home): 2 poached eggs on 1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 3 slices
melted f/f cheese
