Hiatus OVER!

Ok...so it's been a while....a looooong while!  But....I'm still exercising and loggin my food...just not blogging.  But...I'm slooooowly gaining weight and it just has to stop.  I tried the online journal stuff...and I realized it's just too much work...I already blog with my travels, I already log my food into my journal, and I realized that I feel much more part of a community here on BTL.  So....I'm back. 

We are flying to Hawaii on Monday.....we'll be there for two weeks and then back home to travel around in our camper some more.  I'm hoping to be doing a lot of hiking and grilling while we are there in Hawaii, and I hope my jeans fit a little better when we get home!  But I'm not going to stress about it....it's a vacation and we are all SUPER excited!  Especially the kiddos who get to go on a plane ride!

I'm feeling a bit disgruntled with my scale.  I threw out the old one because it was weighing me with such wide variance...like up to three pounds difference if I stepped off and right back on...so I got a new one.  I realized this morning it does the same...only with a 2 lb difference.  UGH!  (or should I say ARGH!)  It's very very frustrating.  I'm hoping that once I start feeling my pants loosen up I'll be confident enough to stay away from the scale!

Ok....we have a lot to do before we head out on Monday.  The camper is getting some work done to it while we are gone and I need to drop it off at the shop on Friday.  So that means I have to pack up today and tomorrow!  Any good advice on what to NOT forget??

And if you've been to the Big Island....any pointers or must see's?

I'm glad to be back...and I look forward to becoming a part of this community again!
