Ashland, Oregon

[mrdreamjeans]

Tim and I arrived safely in Ashland, Oregon about 8 1/2 hours after we left Seattle. It was a fun drive, nice easy conversation and reminiscing about our many road trips. Tim was right about two items we were debating (It brings him such joy). So - I have to say, "No one has ever been more right or will ever be more right than BarakSF!" At least till tomorrow... LOL!

Once in the hotel, I tried to follow some of the fitness regimen I've done over the past three months...swam laps, did jumping jacks and crunches. Not enough cardio, but I was good with my eating. Hopefully, they'll be no lapses. I'm liking the updated me too much to lose ground. Anyway, trying's half the battle:)

Tomorrow we head to SF where we will spend three days. The agenda includes loading my truck with Tim's belongings, visiting with friends who are in SF with the National Tour of HAIRSPRAY and seeing our dear friend John (known to many as Basso Bear) in concert Saturday night. Tim's agenda includes more goodbyes and a date or two:)

Sunday, we hit the road, towing his car to Seattle. I'll report more then... Thanks to our well-wishers!

Glad you made it to Ashland thus far. Good luck getting to SF and then back to Seattle with Tim's car in tow. Hope y'all don't loose it on the way. :-)

I can truely relate to your comment, "I'm liking the updated me too much to lose ground." For the longest time, I couldn't get below 245. Even when I broke my right shoulder in '99, I only got as low as 230...and then it crept upward again. This time, the weight loss has been controled and monitored. The fact that I continue monitoring even after reaching (and exceeding) my goals is probably what helps me keep the weight off.

On another topic, please let me know when you and Kow are nearing Madison. While I may not be able to get the day off, the fact that I work 2nd shift will make it possible for me to spend time with the two of you while others are at work. Give me enough lead-time, I might be able to wrangle the entire day (I have some comp time to burn).

My guess that the closest we'll get is La Crosse, then double back to Albert Lea and drive down to Texas.

Fair enough.

Safe journey to you both.
