Whisper, whisper.....

Shhhhhh ....don't tell anyone..... I gained 3.2kgs in the five weeks I was away. That is the difference in my weight between the day I left and the day after I came back - BUT as well as that the week before I left was pretty ordinary in my eating habits - farewell drinks and meals out plus it turned out that my old friend TOM decided to pop in and say g'day during the first week of our trip. Don't see the bugger for months then he turns up two in a row!!! Anyway the upshot of all that is that the reality is that I'm almost 5kgs heavier than the lightest I was earlier this year. So.... a bit of work to do. However I'm hopeful that I can drop more than half of that fairly quickly - that is in the next couple of weeks. I'm back on plan since yesterday, tracking, counting points, drinking lots of water and no alcohol so just need to get the exercise cranked up again and I should be right.

Another piece of exciting news - for me anyway - is that while I was away a new gym opened in our little town. I've already been on the phone and got prices and details and it sounds pretty good. Just need to clear up all my holiday bills then I'm planning on joining. In the meantime I'll get back to walking with Zanna again and work up to running a couple of mornings a week.

Beck posted a link to this site Polyvore and said it was a lot of fun - so I had a play and she was right - thanks Beck!

And now just a few tail end photos from the holiday - as much for my sake as yours!! They're not in order just as I saw them and thought you might like to share. The link to them all is in my last post and I've also put a link on the sidebar under Holiday Photos.



Bugs Bunny on the Hollywood Walk of Fame



A little quant shopping street on Venice Beach. We walked from Santa Monica to Venice beach one day - some incredibly 'different' people to be found at the markets along Venice Beach!


I made it to the red carpet at Universal Studios in Hollywood!!



Having a lunch time beer in Mexico City

Our hotel in Mexico City was superb - the only 5 star privately owned hotel in the city. This was the bathroom - rather swish!

Outside Versace on Rodeo Drive.

Overlooking Los Angeles and Hollywood. The pale grey area you can see just above the top rail, just behind my handbag is the Hollywood Bowl

That's me on the right meandering along Via Rodeo, just off Rodeo Drive.

And one last one - I didn't do much shopping on this trip - too busy seeing things. But I did manage a couple or purchases in Santa Monica. Sears were having their end of summer sale. So I got two pairs of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, a couple of tops and two pairs of shoes. These ones were a real bargain - cost me the princely sum of $US 3.57!!!!

Have a great week everyone
