Hanging my head... shuffling my feet... can I come back to blogland?

It has been almost a month since I last posted. That is my longest stretch of non-blogging in 18 months. A lot happened in the past month - some good some bad:

My brother got married!

My best friend got married!

I took 12 days off work to hang out with family and friends

I went on a vigorous 70km mountain bike ride through some really tough trails

I went on two short-notice work trips involving many meals out

I stopped counting points or calories

I did not exercise regularly

I drank way way to many iced lattes

I ate a lot of cake!

I drank a lot of wine, tequila, margaritas, cider, pina coladas

I gained 12 pounds.....

I am really hoping that a good solid week back on plan will take care of at least 5 of those 12. This morning my jeans felt a little tight.... I do not want to fall off the wagon, I am not too far out of control not to be able to reign myself back in.

I made a meal plan for the week, got groceries, made a healthy delicious dinner and plan on a long bike ride or walk after work tomorrow.

Here are a couple of pictures from the weddings, and other vacation goodies... can't wait to catch up on all of your blogs, I hope everyone has not given up on me!
