The time at my daughter's was very fun. My grandchildren don't seem like they're going to give up trick-or-treating quite yet, which gives this candy passer-outer a little more job security. I kicked a soccer ball around the back yard, spent a little bit of time at each of their schools, watched my grandson's Tae Kwon Do lesson [he's so darned cute in his little uniform], played Hangman with both of them, ate out a lot [although I don't think I ate a lot] and generally had a very good time. We packed a lot of activity into four and a half short days.
Oh, yeah. I met Crazy Aunt Purl! Laurie is so cute and enthusiastic and – the best word I can think of to describe her is authentic. Here we are, courtesy of my daughter's excellent photography skills [thanks again, H!]:
And here I go. I need to get some things done tonight before we leave again tomorrow. For a race! On Sunday! In Raleigh! [Just in case I forgot to mention it.]

Glad you had a wonderful time and you really did stay busy! I love the picture of you and CAP. Good luck in the race... should be good weather.
Oh man, I am so jealous that you and Laurie got to meet each other before I got to meet either one of you! I kept checking in wanting to know how the signing went.
Good luck on the race! I know you will rock it in Raliegh!
Good luck Sunday! In Raleigh!! On your Half-Marathon!!!
Wow, you look great!! I know that's not the point of the photo but I just had to mention it. :)
What a great photo of both of you. CAP seems like a nice person.
I find it sad to see you still so frustrated with your fitness goals. I check in once every few weeks. I wish I knew what to say - I find that my weight loss efforts have been, if not effortless then at least understandable. I have let myself stall out at times due to other goals. My weight graph is sinusoidal but with a definite downward arc (20 pounds over the year, trough to trough). The few things I notice with you:
1. Alcoholism and sugar addiction seem related. A number of bloggers have talked about figuring that out. I suspect that cutting out all sugar (not necessarily fat, though) and maybe even fruits is important for you.
2. I have no association with him, but I've heard great things about the coaching program Leanness Lifestyle. It sounded affordable and hands on and a phenomenal success rate. It sounds like that kind of one-on-one attention would be worthwhile for you.
3. A late-50's woman who is 5'2" recently posted about having her metabolism tested professionally (part of a study) and her BMR was a scant 1050 calories. I think a lot of the theories out there tell us not to eat less than 1200 calories blah blah but don't work for us short women. (My calorie counting suggests a similar BMR for me). For me, getting my nutrition in means lots of salad and other vegetables, lean protein, milk, water - that low a bmr leaves very little leeway to generate a caloric deficit. I do still have treats, but it's 1-2 mini chocolates after most workouts, nor a bag or a bar of them.
You are so photogenic.... what a great picture!
