D in St. Pete - Thanks. I probably will start that thread when another visit is looming. I have done well with some of their visits, but not this time. We are coming off of an incredibly stressful time as a family and there was quite a bit of apprehension along with this visit. I shouldn't be surprised at the way it went food-wise. But I didn't really think about it enough in advance.

Okay, I disappeared for a couple of days. My parents were in town and despite my good intentions I did not post a plan, did not have a plan and ate with reckless abandon. I did exercise though.
So, in the spirit of not letting more than the days they were here get ruined, I am back.
