I'm skipping my weigh-in today. I'm up one pound but this week I have no distractions and I know I'll be back down and then some next week. As I told Kat, it's nice to be in a place where I'm not stressing a bump on the scales, where I'm calm and focused on slipping into my bicycle shorts and jumping on my road bike in May.

I've appreciated the comments regarding my sister-in-law; they've helped me accept the fact that she may never be able to turn things around. There is however something I can do to ease the pain she's caused my niece and I'm going to put my efforts there.



I've never noticed this color in the perennial foxglove before, the last splash.
