Hello, Pygfo gals.
Sorry I have been MIA. The sad news is, I'm probably going to go missing a lot in the next weeks.
We have finished all the "official" furlough stuff. Then we went to AR for Christmas and New Years. Big sign of relief.
We are now going to CA for some specialized training. It's going to be a kind of "unplug and focus" time for us, so we're not going to do email and internet except about once a week. That will be so refreshing.
The good news is that, as I mentioned a few weeks ago, I will have easy (and free) access to a gym. Without so much on my plate, I'm really hoping to crank up my workouts.
I have been very pleased with the furlough. Robin, I followed your advice and enjoyed myself--ate some treats without feeling guilty. At the same time, I tried not to go crazy. I have gained some weight, as I expected, but not tons. I still look good, and my clothes fit--which was the main issue. So, to run the schedule I did, and have access to all the tempting treats that I can't get in Africa, and still maintain as well as I have--well, I'm going to lay down my perfectionism and say I'm happy. I am, however, sadly out of shape and have to really modify my workouts to keep up these days.
But I hope to check in at least once a week in the coming few weeks and be able to tell you that I'm leaning out again.
So I'm not totally going to vanish.
You girls are awesome and you inspire me!
Laura
