Good on ya with the eating. I started up WW online, on the determination that I would NOT leave this ship wearing a larger size trousers than I went in. Down nearly 10lbs so far and I still have 3 weeks to go. I would love to go on my vacation 20lbs lighter than when I got on this ship.
Your Friendly Neighbourhood Surveyor-Woman wishes to point out to you that such a geologic structure (ocean, immediate mountains) is common in areas where two plate boundaries meet and thus the following are likely to be true:
1. There is a rainshadow desert or semi-desert to landward of the large mountain chain, although lake effect precipitation may occur (especially in winter)...think Chile or Turkey or Tibet. Rivers and river flats would be fed primarily by runoff or snowmelt from the mountains.
2. Such a region will be hugely susceptible to earthquakes.
