Back. Had an absolutely AMAZING time. Couldn’t have asked for better weather. Of course the map ended up wildly ambitious, which we expected. It still served as a good set of choices for things to do. Especially if you’re a history nut like I am. Part travel guide, part blog…

Monster AP Day

What was that I said the other day about diminishing activity points?!

MONSTER day today w 1487 calories burned, good for 14 APs. The thing is? I totally could have gone longer.

It started after my Weight Watchers meeting this morning (up point 2, totally expected after some not great food choices this week and big losses the last two weeks).

Down 2 lbs (or 1.6 lbs of new weight after last week’s gain) for a total of 30 lbs lost. I’m at 179 and out of the 180s for the first time since… Maybe early 2007?

I came home from Japan in June 2006 weighing 167, the . . . → Keep Going: Farewell, fair point
