Except for gaining 26 pounds :) But no big deal, it's probably the smallest stress/weight gain ratio I've ever experienced. I'll be back on track in a day or two. Admittedly, I'm doing a little celebrating, and yes, there's food involved!
Thanks for the kudos, Tracey!!
Hm... drama AND data neuroticism!
My kinda guy!
Hippity hop, back on track (after the well deserved celebration)
