It all started when they updated and changed the website last- being in a truck and depending on my iPhone as my mode of checking in on the NS website worked perfectly well before the update. I could get on every day, read my mail, blog, etc. (I couldn't really track my food online, but I have my handy dandy meal planner for that) But usually no problem. Then came the update. Now half the time I get an error message just trying to get to the blogs or my inbox. I'm impressed that it's let me get this far on this blog! (now, if it'll just let me publish it, I'd be golden!) Now, mind you, I'm not complaining about this. I'm a very patient person. I am simply explainig why I said I'd be on here more, and it doesn't look like I have. Like I said, putting in the effort but the results aren't showing. (on my blog- not diet. Lost a pound since Wednesday so far. After my self-imposed plateau, Ill take it!) Ok, yesterday (or was it the day before? I tend to block out painful memories) Patrick and I had delieveries spread all over CA. (ok- not ALL over. It wasn't like we drove from SF to San Diego or anything) We did have multiple deliveries though, going from Thousand Palms (by Chester's house. Sadly we didn't get to stay long enough to have a visit) to Compton to Rancho Cucamonga to Pico Rivera to Bakersfield. Those of you familiar with CA problably know the drive from Rancho to Pico was about 35 miles, if that. It took about an hour to get there. Not too bad for being in traffic. Pico to Bakersfield- well, it took who knows how long. I can say I was in traffic on I-5 for a few hours of going 10MPH or less. (I'm a patient person though.) I'll be honest though. I didn't do ANYTHING that day. No NS website. No physical activities of any kind. (I usually get outside with the dog and throw her little squeeky yellow football to her, the chase her while she makes a mad dash to run by me- I obviously try to tackle her... it IS a game of football, which I find funny that my dog seems to understand the concept of football) So, I'll quit rattling on, just wanted to say (if it publishes my post to where you can actually read said ramblings) that I am making the effort to be present everyday. I AM serious about my weightloss- and keeping in touch with all my NS pals. And I do LOVE Cali- just not the traffic! :) Keep on keepin' on! Jessica
