Here is a great diet idea:
Get really, really sick on an Irish Stomach Flu and stop eating for five days. Stop drinking anything besides water, chamomile tea, flat ginger ale and innocent smoothies (quick side note. Innocent Smoothies are these amazing - albeit expensive-smoothies from the UK that are amazing. Wow. I have built them into my budget just so I can have them. Delicious.) and lay on the couch reading books and watching movies. Lose eight pounds. Eight. Good grief. I could hardly believe it when I got on the scale this am at the pharmacy!
On the upswing, things look bright: the thought of food is mildly appealing and there is no trips to lead until July 5th. I am back at work presearching for upcoming family trips tomorrow. My lovely co-leader Matt suggested if I am still under the weather tomorrow that I bring a 'toss' bucket (he's English) and lay down in the backseat while he drives. What a sweetheart.
My best from Ireland...

hm…laying down in backseat..sounds like enough to bring on or bring UP something! better try FRONT seat.. what are those fancy elbow length gloves? could you wear that with the oqoqoq (sp?) dress? hee hee
Oh Jane… those fancy gloves are arm warmers! You simply strip them off when you warm up. You can get leg warmers too! I only found out about them myself when Holly started serious riding. So this time last week we had 2 sleeps in our house on the Ridge. This week we have 1 sleep left in Calgary bunking in with Hillary in her Palace. Hitting the open road and the hot prairie tomorrow for the long drive to Toronto, our new home! We’re getting closer to you Holly! Yippee! Don’t get sick anymore. Pretty drastic way to lose weight. Well then again, moving can shed about 7 pounds from your frame too! Have a safe trip Brodie… enjoy Calgary and the PPP. Be well all… XOXO
