Six hour drive Wednesday night, expect to arrive around 3 a.m.

Family plans Thursday and Saturday.

An even longer drive back on Monday (expecting more traffic, since it's during the day).

Hoping to get out and take a brisk walk up and down the big hill in my hometown on Friday, and again on Sunday.

My weight management challenge this week is not about food, it's about inactivity.

But it will be nice to see the family!! And I will enjoy my mother's apple pie. It's a serving of fruit!! Seriously!! She puts a ton of apples in it, real apples, with hardly any added sugar. And she slices them really fast with a paring knife that is older than I am.
