At My Mom's
I've been at my mom's for a couple days now. It's hot up here and I can't exercise in the heat. I'm starting a low carb diet and they tell you not to exercise in the heat for the first couple of weeks to let your body adjust to the changes. I had a binge last night and ate a couple doughnut holes and a biscuit. Other than that, I've been doing pretty good. I've lost a couple pounds, but that could be water weight. I'm drinking a ton of water and Crystal Light because of the heat. My mom has a/c but I'm trying not to use it. I turn it on for a couple hours in the heat of the day and then turn it off.
I had written a entry the day after I got here and then my computer crashed and I lost it all. My computer has been overheating a lot. I think I need to get some compressed air and clear out the dust. A
I had a horrible trip coming up here. The train was a half hour late leaving the station. Then a couple hours into the trip we came to a dead stop. It turns out there was work being done on the signals and we had to wait for 2 southbound trains to pass. Each train took an hour to pass and we took an hour as well, so now we were 3 and a half hours late. The crew was as nice as they could be, handing out snacks and water. I feel sorry for the people at the stations ahead of us who were waiting that 3.5 hours in the rain. Not all the stations have a waiting area. I was supposed to get to my stop at 9:15 and didn't get in until 1:15 am. I got to my mom's and just collapsed into bed. I logged a complaint with Amtrak about it but I haven't heard anything from them. I might call them tomorrow.
I've been having a good time with my mom... we haven't had time to do much, but it's nice to see her. On Sunday if the weather permits we are going to the flea market and the pool. I hope so... I could use some new shoes and they might have them at the flea market. Anyway, I'm going to go now before my computer crashes again.

The train delay sounds like the pits! I hope you hear back from Amtrak and they give some perks for your inconvenience.
Have fun at your Mom\'s
I hope you are enjoying your visit with your mom. I can\'t exercise in the heat, I feel nauseous and dizzy when I do. Congrats on losing a couple of pounds, that\'s good!
Hope you are doing well.
