The flight home was bumpy and long. The 8-hour layover in San Francisco was not fun. But we all ended up in one piece at 10:30pm in Salt Lake City airport on Tuesday evening. Even the bike and my Mount Fuji walking stick that I checked on arrived in one piece.
It is so nice to be back home...where the streets are wide, the chairs are comfortable and where I can sleep in my own bed. Life seems easy here...but that is a little scary. Scary because sometimes easy means lazy. And lazy can mean not being totally conscious about life and the little things...like eating.
Yes, I am heavier than when I left, and haven't rode my bike since I got off of it at the 2nd Station on Mount Fuji. It's time to cook up a batch of beans and get my good eating and riding going again.
Oh well, Japan and the time off from work was a wonderful distraction from our regular life. It was a blast and a memory that we'll never forget! However, as I was laying in bed last night at 2am, trying to fall asleep, I thought about the fact that I am only half way to my goal weight. It is Fall, and winter will be here soon. There is no time to waste in putting in the other 4500 miles that I set out to rack up by now...and there still is a lot of weight to lose, and a lot of change to occur.
Onward and upward!

Welcome back, Don!!! Congrats and keep eating clean. Even if you are not exercising for any reason, the fewer the processed foods, the better off your body, mind, and soul.

Thanks Karen! Yes, I can tell a big difference when I am not eating well. Didn't you have some good references for Paleo/Primal way of eating. Books, Websites?

I know, I know...I came home from Japan...and got ready to go on another 10-day trip for work so it's been crazy busy! I won't say I have fallen off the bandwagon...I have simply stopped the wagon, and gotten off to wrap up a few business items. Shortly I will step back into the wagon, whip the reins and start going again. I have a possible announcement to make coming soon...another carrot that I am considering throwing out in front of me. Stand by for things to ramp back up here! Thanks for checking in Erika!
