TIme to Turn the Page...

Well, I have had what is perhaps the most tumultuous year of my life and I feel like it is time for me to turn the page on the past and get my life in order again. Since April of last year I have been through job loss, job interviews, moving twice, port revision surgery, falling in love, an engagement, a broken engagement, the end of a relationship, going back to therapy, increasing my antidepressant dosage and the most recent in my line of not so lucky stuff is dealing with gall stones. Well, I am tired of the path I am on and I refuse to let my life take me in that direction anymore. I see now that I am stong enough to withstand just about anything. 

So here's the problem...or perhaps let's call it a challenge instead...I have gained back about 25 pounds this past year. It is a number I am not proud of and I know that I can do better for myself. I have a lapband adjustment scheduled for next week, I have a brand new pair of walking shoes and a membership at the Y. I just download the newest calorie tracking app to my smart phone and I am ready to tackle those 25 pounds so that I can once again be counted among the people who live in onederland. It's time to find me again.

  3. I am so sorry for all of the awful things you have had to endure this year. Stay strong, and like LPG said, plan and work the plan. You are so worth it. One day at a time.

  4. It's a new day so welcome back. We never left and will be here for you. I did change my blog to http://www.restofourdays.com/ so I could post a bit more about life and not so focused on weight loss. But we need each other even more as time goes by. What a year. I feel bad that you had to go through that. I had my gallbladder out in February--feel great now. I took four weeks off but could have gone back within 5 days. Just me being a suck. Hope to see you here more.

  7. It sounds to me like those 25 pounds don'thave a chance against you. It has been a tough year but if anyone can turn it around, it is you.
