Helloooo friends

Good to be back, I think. Sounds like February has been somewhat hard but also somewhat successful for all of you. So glad you are feeling better Heather and such fun to read the blog about what the rest of you are doing. Way to hang in there. We had a great two weeks cruising around not too warm parts of Europe. We started in Rome, went to various ports in Sicily, Spain and France and ended in Rome again. The cruise we were on was Italian and there were only about 20 passengers that spoke English. By the end after trying to speak Italian, Spanish, and French I was very confused. We then hopped a train and spent some time in southern Italy. I have to say that Italy and a cruise are not great for low carb eating. I had lots of yummy food and after trying to hold back for a few days just let it all go. I enjoyed every bite except for the octopus and squid that showed up in a variety of unexpected places. However we walked for miles, and miles and miles and miles. I weighed today and I am exactly the same as well I left even down to a 10th of a pound. What a relief.
