Hello again, its been awhile....

hope this entry finds you well. personally, I am 300% improved health wise! ruling some issues out although to be expected - pretty sure the cadre of specialists did not inform me of the length of recovery nor all these rather annoying pop up concerns.

this is the best i have felt in 12 months time. have lost 42 pounds (only 10 more to go for "ideal" weight). started back at the gym in march which has certainly been a factor in my health improving - its not all about the super model lifestyle i've adopted (sparkling water, tic tacs, smoking a pack a day).

i cannot wait for the day when i can sit down and enjoy a fabulous dinner and revel in the all the tastes, smells, feel of a perfect pinot noir wrapping around my tounge, and the stir of deep and comical chats with my dining companions. not to say i have survived only on jello and ice chips these past six months or not enjoyed dinner with friends and family....i finally i gave up on worrying if it was all going to come back up. just don't want to waste a culinary journey.

work is GREAT - love my job. i meet at least seven new people a day - now if i can just get them to book at my hotel! this whole economic slowdown is rather impending doom. i get it - its real. it just seems its more of a frenzy verses actually in play.

looking forward to getting back to blogging and hearing about your adventures!

take care!
