Coldest Night of the Year tonight. I'm thrilled that I've raised $450, with only $100 coming from me. I'm so delighted that some of the folks I talked to came through for us. We are already over $30,000 in earnings for the fundraiser which will be a tremendous boost to our budget. Food: 7:45 124 poppy seed roll, 106 g blackberries, coffee

Good to be back at Bootstrap yesterday. Another session of Body Pump this morning. Got to remember to set it on my watch because it did not give me any exercise credit on Wed. Will be good to see what it does today. Food: 7:50 am 123 g poppy seed roll, 104 g blackberries, coffee

Thurs 26 Feb

Starting to fall slowly into home routines. Was still very sleepy yesterday starting fairly early in the day. Hoping to rectify that soon. Also hoping desperately to start pooping again. Yesterday felt busy with Body Pump and hair color/cut. Today is Bootstrap in the afternoon, but the morning is free which generally helps with pooping. Food: 7:40 am 92 g apple pastry, 105 g blackberries, coffee

Wed 25 Feb

Home again, home again, riggety jig. Spain was again a wonderful experience, even though it was very windy much of the time which limited our hikes somewhat. There were weather advisories for the wind, and branches/trees down in some of the venues. We did visit the Gil Bros winery in Jumilla for a wonderful day where we met three women traveling together from Appleton. We all went to a Michelin-starred restaurant in Jumilla for lunch afterward and it was a real treat, not too badly priced. Also visited the Archaelogical Museum in Alicante and had a tour of an exhibit on the history of Denia. Back to Body Pump this morning - should be envigorating. The cold is hard to reacclimate, but we'll manage. Food: 7:45 am 92 g apple pastry, 104 g blackberries, coffee
