Been trying to walk for exercise now that the weather is better. Out in the hills even a short walk is a killer. Thin air + steep hills = pain!

I confess I am not being too healthy on vaca, although for dinner last night we made roasted veggies to serve over toasted polenta, along with a salad. (But on vaca with mom that's just an excuse to have ice cream with home-canned peaches for dessert!)

I am motivated by summer but even more for my upcoming 10th anniversary, when we go to U2 and stay at our swank hotel. I'm already plotting with my hairdresser to get all dolled up, and I want a cute little outfit besides. Yeah, it's nice not to die of embarrassment in your swimsuit, but what I really want is to make DH's eyes grow wide and his mouth to hang open even after 10 years!! *That's* motivating!
