I'm back from my Maine trip. Ended up being one day longer because of cancelled flights, due to weather. Turned out to be a real blessing. Had a day for a photo shoot. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm generally a pretty even tempered person, don't get overly excited or upset about most things, but hand me a camera, and some specatacular scenery, and I'm as giddy as a school girl going to her very first party. Coming upon a new scene, I'm prone to jump up and down, throw my arms open, and giggle with glee. I can't describe to you how happy I am taking pictures. So picture the bright blue sky, icy blue Atlantic ocean, black rocky cliffs, snow white surf and the charming Cape Elizabeth Lighthouse, for added charm. Throw in my oldest, dearest friend, and I've got an almost perfect day. I can't say perfect, because my honey wasn't there and that would make him sad.

Well, I decided to plunge in and embrace the clean eating movement. It's taken me a number of hours, to do some initial learning, make my list and do the grocery shopping. But I feel excited and confidant I can do this. In just one week, I lost 5 pounds, and never had any cravings. That's major, and I loved everything I ate. And the grocery bill wasn't bad at all. Though the things I was buying were a bit more expensive, take away all the junk, and given that these are much more filling choices, thus needing less, it all washed out. So thankful my hubby was willing to embrace this new way of eating.
