we're back!

Hello bloggerellas! Nice to see some springtime signs of new life here on the blog. Beth, sounds like a wonderful trip to Hawaii, and I'm glad you had such a good time. Amy, I'm glad you've been exercising in the great out-of-doors, but you have been missing some good Oprahs lately -- something to keep in mind for a rainy day! I've been doing pretty well with exercise lately, and am about to diversify my routine -- I haven't swum for exercise in several years, but I have a few friends who are doing it and that's whetted my appetite. So, today I'm going to try out the pool at the gym, and we'll see how that goes. As for WW: yes, I'm still on that train. I'm doing an at-work program, and it runs in 17-week installments -- the first installment ended last week and it wasn't clear that they were going to get enough people to renew for the next 17 weeks, but I just heard that we did -- so WW formally restarts next Wednesday. I lost 14 pounds during this first series -- that's really not as much as I'd planned or hoped, but then I'm quite sure that it's about 14 lbs more than I'd have lost had i not been doing WW -- and just this week several people have mentioned that they can see a difference, so that is of course motivating -- so I will keep on keeping on with that. I'm looking forward to seeing you all in not so very long!
