hey muffins

Well, my Utah friends, today I report my commuting exercise, with the added weight-workout of dragging a suitcase through the snow, up and over and around drifts -- I was supposed to take the train to Michigan to spend the weekend with a friend, but it is soooo cold here (10 below right now, real temperature) that signals aren't working and trains weren't running (though they didn't tell us this til we'd sat there for FOUR HOURS). So: more dragging of suitcase through the snow and more scaling of drifts just to be right back where I started!

Sorry to hear about the back (Sarah), the sciatica (Beth), and the ankle (Amy) -- I am noticing that after all the suitcase-dragging, my old basketball injury in my lower back is acting up a bit -- so I too can join the old-lady club! But at least we're not yet talking about arthritis, or total joint replacement, or any other wonders of aging -- that's how we can tell that, as Sarah says, we're in fact in our prime.

Beth, about your ww question: it appears that what they now call "filling foods" are essentially the core foods of old: fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean protein. So, they want you to count points, and they suggest that a good percentage of your points should come from the 'filling food' category. But really of course it's all kind of the same: eat healthy food and not too much of it!

OK ladies: good for you for marching on! And Beth, i see you've done some subtle redesign of the blog - nice!
