I’m back!

To all my regular readers, first off, an apology. I’m sorry it’s been soooo long since I posted here. First I was on holiday for 2 weeks, then I was ill for a week, then I was busy job hunting, and then I was just too overwhelmed with all the catching up I had to do. But finally I figured it wasn’t going to get any better, so I’d better get started.

So, Africa…absolutely fantastic. Hubby and I went to Kenya, and spent a week in the various national parks seeing wild beasties and a week on the coast soaking up the views and the rays. Food was very restricted in what was available and what was safe to eat. We spent long days travelling in the truck between parks and on safaris, and I had, unfortunately, gotten used to eating 5 or 6 meals a day, so I was absolutely starving by mid-morning and mid-afternoon. And that meant only one thing. Crisps or chocolate. We’d stop at petrol stations to stock up and it was crisps, chocolate, or nothing. As I wrote to one of my PN buddies, I barely saw a nutrient for days at a time, precise or otherwise. Still, had a blast. And believe it or not, I shan’t be sorry if I don’t see another chocolate bar or packet of crisps for…well, for some time, anyway.

So I arrived back in the UK and stepped on the scales with well warranted trepidation. 15 stone 5.5 (215.5 lbs) and 47% body fat!*@!!*@!

Tune in tomorrow to find out what happened next.
