174
Forgive me, ClubMom, for I have sinned...
I went off on a mistaken blogging vacation, and have only found my way back now. BlogHer was fun - a little too much fun!
Despite my food choices (bacon!) and many alcoholic beverages and sodas, I am holding steady at 174 pounds. I am surprised, but delighted. Portion size and eating pace really does help - as does great conversation with great company. I was chatting so much that I am surprised I managed to eat anything at all.
It was good for my self-image to attend BlogHer this year. I had the opportunity to see myself through the eyes of affectionate people, and although the pictures are multiplying on Flickr as we speak, I have no anxiety about it. I see the photos, and remember how I was feeling at that moment (probably tipsy!) and suddenly, it doesn't matter how big my arms are. I felt truly accepted and embraced.
I'm finishing up my laundry and dusting off my workout clothes for a trip to the park with my kids. It's good to be home. I'll get this week's menu up this afternoon.

Mmmmmm....bacon.
Big Slice Jenny, I love you to pieces regardless of how many or how few lemon drop martinis you've consumed. But I'll continue to cheer you on!

I'm happy you're home! I am interested in all the gory details.
I've never had a lemon drop martini. Apparently I have not been fully living...
:-)
