I'm in Mississippi now. I've been doing pretty good on the eating, but not so good on the exercise. Zero exercise for about two weeks now. I've just been so tired when I get up in the morning I haven't had the energy. And I haven't had the energy to do it after a day of driving either. I drove about 12 hours yesterday from Tampa, FL to Jackson, MS. Good weather. Good tunes on the iPod. Last night's dinner was a salad with no dressing, tilapia and vegetables and copious amounts of Diet Coke. But I did have a small McDonald's shake with my pasta salad for lunch. It was disappointing. I wanted a frosty, but there wasn't a Wendy's around. I won't make that mistake again.
My grandmother, who I saw in Florida, was cute when she saw me. She hasn't seen me with all the weight off. Actually, she didn't know I was trying to lose weight - we just don't have that kind of relationship. She'd worry and bother me about it. It was better that it was a surprise. She did say "I was wondering where the other half of you went to." I ended up laughing instead of being offended. I mean, if that's the worst thing someone says to me, I'll take it. And she's 84. I mean, I gotta cut her some slack. And lastly, it is basically true. Ah ... relatives :)
Now I need to go on the WW site to find a meeting for the city I'll be in in Texas tomorrow. I want to stick to my Thursday weigh-ins, even though I'm on the road. I've been weighing myself on people's scales, but it isn't the same.
Off and truckin'

I am SO glad the weather is cooperating with you! Hope you find a Thursday meeting. There's one right by my house....HINT HINT!
Okay, good job on the food. Road food is so incredibly treacherous, so I think you're doing great!
Sounds like you’re having a fun trip. Although it’s amazing that you can drive 12 hours straight! I always need to get out of the car every 3-4 hours! Sitting for that amount of time really does get tiring! During my last road trip, I would go jogging at the rest stop. That helped me from the tiredness.
I'm so happy to hear that you are having such a smooth trip!! Please continue to drive safely. :)
