darn, just when you are ready to get back with it life throws you a curve. I had a major car breakdown this week and we've been scrambling since Monday to deal with a very uncooperative car dealer to get warranty work done, as well as trying to sell the piece of almost new junk and get something more reliable. We've been going from dealer to dealer every night this week. there's been no time for exercise.

The good news is we bought a new car tonight, so the episode is overwith except for a letter of complaint to the dealer (who tried to scam us into paying $900 for something that was covered by a warranty) and the manufacturer.

The better news is that all this running around has gotten me back down to 160.5, a loss of 3.5 pounds this week, and inches that haven't been measured yet...but my pants are now requiring safety pins to keep them from completely falling off.

Every cloud has a silver lining.
