Today's weight: 176.4 (loss of 1.6 pounds!)
Ok, I'm happy with that. I want it to be slow because I'm changing my lifestyle, not necessarily what I eat. I mean, this weekend we went to eastern Washington for a great wine tasting at an amazing little winery. So, of course, there was wine drinking and I partook. I've just decided that, for now, I'm working on portion control and just better eating habits. RG, I can't wait til we can meet up - I hope for your sake you are feeling better soon because I know all about not feeling good... Take care, you.
Let me share a bit about this weekend... My friend's co-worker bid on a wine tasting event at the Alexandria Nicole winery in Prosser, WA. He bid the highest, I guess, and got to invite 20 people over as well. It was a good group, all 30-40 somethings, fun, smart people. We went to the winery, a small estate winery, and we got to pick grapes as well as taste some wines in various stages of production. I really learned alot more than I ever knew about wine - like even the fact that an estate winery means that the wines produced only use grapes from that winery's vineyard. Fascinating! lol We tasted syrah and a really spectacular blend. A few hours after that finished, we sat down to dinner in the tasting room. They had organized a 5 course meal that highlighted each of their wines. The servings were just the right size so you didn't walk out feeling all bloated and the wines were really nice (even the whites and I'm not a white wine lover). My friend and I bought a couple bottles to enjoy later! We drove back yesterday, through the beautiful autumn colors that dot the Cascade mountains. I took a couple gorgeous photos... Here's the nicest one...
So that's it. I've had the top down on the car a bit, enjoying the sunshine that we've been having. Doesn't matter that it's 58 degrees (that's about 10 degrees C), with the heat turned up, it feels like summer!!
Deidre, I'm looking forward to getting to the Southwest again. I used to live in Phoenix and you're right about it. Not much personality. But there's some lovely areas around it!!

That's a beautiful picture!
Hubby and I *love* to go wine tasting, so let's give that a whirl sometime.
I'm also doing portion control. Screw the Atkins and all that. I'm just eating less and it's working!
I have more to lose than you do, but I'm okey dokey with that. I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now, as I'm smaller than I ever have been with Hubby. He can't keep his hands off me. tee hee.
Give me another week or so and then we can make plans. I think just going into the office will wipe me out and I want to look (and act) tip top shape when we meet in person!
Sounds like a lovely time at the winery. Mmm..just my kind of day!
The North Cascades Hwy...is that where the picture was taken? I've only been through there in the summertime. Spectacular!!
xo
Nope, it was just off of I-90 outside of Ellensburg.. :) Not as pretty as that drive you mentioned but still pretty gorgeous.
Looking forward to that, RG! :)

I was wondering why I wasn't invited. I mean, it was all 30-40 somethings...okay, that's my age group.
Fun, smart people...oh, now I understand. never mind.
yes, I love my desert. But man, I love that picture! Absolutely beautiful! Was actually thinking about moving that way.
Love the new look! Glad to see you settling in. ;)
