LOL! We've been here in North Carolina for a week, and I've surely gained 5 pounds already. My mom greeted us with The Barefoot Contessa's Outragious Brownies - and then proceeded to bake sugar cookies with the boys. Stayed a few days and then went to my MIL's house where we've eaten non-stop. I counted - we've eaten fried chicken at 4 meals!! Not to mention bar-b-que, hush puppies, sweet iced tea, good mexican (Hawaii can't make Mexican food) - yadda, yadda. Ice cream. Fresh from the garden vegetables - of course, laden with either butter or lard and salt.
I've done SOME walking. I've got blisters on my toes, so I took a break today - but tomorrow - long walk day.
When we first got here we were freezing! Didn't even make it to 70. Luckily, we had left a box of winter clothes here at my folks house - so we had sweaters and sweatshirts. LOL! It was colder than we got in our winter in Hawaii, I do believe! It would have been fine if I had brought a pair of long pants and mom didn't insist we eat outside!
Gotta go - typing on borrowed time here. I'll try to update before we leave.
