camping 2011

We had a great week camping this year. Madeline was a fantastic little camper. She slept great in the vast outdoors and played hard! She loved being outside all the time and really got comfortable walking! In fact, she really got to work on her balance while camping because the ground was uneven and there were sticks and rocks everywhere (not to mention dirt!), so she had to concentrate to stay upright. She fell a lot, she got dirty a lot. But she had a blast! She enjoyed the beach and was a little sand crab! We enjoyed visiting with our friends and relaxing. In fact, we had the camp site to ourselves for the first few days. It was kind of nice for it to be just our little family. We had a couple of encounters with skunks and racoons that I would have liked to have done without. Luckily no one was sprayed or attacked except Madeline's food!
How's my weight loss plan going? Oh you HAD to ask! Well, I ate A LOT of cookies while camping- among other really good things. And, I gained a pound. Not proud of it, but not too bad for all that I ate! I worked out everyday last week and that pound didn't budge. Back at it this week and hoping to drop a couple before I go back to work. I know once school starts it will be easier to loose weight. I won't be sitting at home all day (not that I sit a whole lot) and won't be grazing all day!
I am trying to upload pictures but it's not letting me. Anyone else wqith blogspot having problems? Maybe it's just me. Thinking of switching to wordpress. Any thoughts?

I prefer blogspot and don't typically have problems with it. But today it wouldn't let me sign in and I had to waste time deleting cookies and emptying caches. SUPER annoying when time is precious.

I always GAINED weight teaching b/c of the stress. Good for you it's the other way around.

She's looking more and more like her daddy! Good luck on the diet thing, I went back to the dr. and lost 20 pounds. Just 25 to go. Yipee! Weight Watchers and I are going to be best friends for the next 3 months! I'll check in on you and you check in on me. =)
