How are all my DM peeps? I hope well. Sorry I've been absent. I missed you guys. It's been a tough two months here in Mongolia. A lot of drama and the stress is off the charts. My running dropped off quickly. In 2 months I've managed to gain back 12 pounds. (Thanks to mom I now have my scale) Almost afraid to run this morning (temp = -42F) and we don't have daylight savings time so sunrise this morning isn't until 8:30. So, all this makes it awfully hard to get out of bed in the morning. But the scale tells reminds me that I never want to get that weight back. So, this is day one, AGAIN. Hopefully you will see my SMILING face back here on a daily basis. I turn 54 next week, so I guess my "lose 54 by 54" is shot. But, the Ulaanbaatar Marathon is in June, so that gives me a new goal to aim for.

    Day one is not bad, you have accomplished so much already and will continue to do so! We all "slip off the wagon" from time to time. You're aware and nipping it in the bud. Here's hoping your stress decreases so you can focus more on you.
