Although I am still very interested in losing and maintaining weight while exploring and celebrating new and interesting foods, I find that I now have to learn how to manage this with LPR (Laryngopharyngeal reflux), an acid reflux disease that affects the voice and respiration.

Northern Exposure
Well, I'm back. We had a great time up north. My family fished. I read and slept. It's really hard to encapsulate the week. Words make it seem much less than it really was.
The one thing I swore I was going to do was try kayaking. The picture above proves that I fulfilled my goal. I wanted to try it because I love canoeing and I don't get enough opportunities to do it. A canoe is just too much for me to handle on my own. So, I wanted to try a kayak. I was worried that I'd have too many difficulties getting in and out and that I'd be too uncomfortable (my knees aren't what they used to be). But it wasn't too bad at all. Getting in and out wasn't pretty, but I pulled it off. I didn't do a lot of kayaking, just enough to know that it'll work for me.
So, now I'm in the market for a one-man...err, one-woman kayak. Looking at prices on the net, I figure it had better be a used one. And one that is a bit larger and more durable.
I really loved it up north. But then it wasn't terribly hot and I don't even burn in the sun up there. I'm definitely a cool weather gal. Yesterday, we left temperatures in the 50s-70s and entered temperatures in 60s-90s.
However, I certainly wasn't on my diet then. I'll be starting again on Monday. It'll be difficult, but it is essential. Things have really gotten out of hand.
It's good to be back, and soon I will be back in business.
