Guess Who's Back?

I'm back again (finally). I've spent literally the last four weeks traveling--first home for the holidays, then a week in Turkey and a quick trip to West Virginia. I'm back for a while now, which is good.

I'm down 3 pounds since New Years, which means I'm on track for my 6-7 pound weight loss per month, although I haven't yet been to the gym. I want to get started ASAP--I may go in tomorrow and get signed up. I'm excited to have a new set of goals and the help of a trainer.

I wanted to share two funny moments with you. When I was in Turkey, I had a meeting with a guy I hadn't seen in about a year--I last saw him in February 2005, when I was just about at my highest weight. The look on his face when he saw me again was *priceless*! He could not stop staring at me! It felt really great!

Second, on my way out of the country, I had to go through passport control in the Istanbul airport. The Passport agent actually kept me there for several minutes because he couldn't believe that it was really me in the picture in my passport!

Well, take a look for yourself:

Now, if I could just get a date.... :)
