We spent the weekend on a short vacation with my mother-in-law --

exercised little. -- about which I feel a tad guilty. But we came
home last night and I'm back on the wagon.

Thanks! MIL saw me just 5 pounds ago or so. She's quite a big woman
-- tall (5' 10") and large-boned as well as fairly heavy, and I think
I just seem small to her.

Well, she thinks it's weird, anyway. But -- despite thinking I'm too
thin -- she's impressed by the results :-).
