Life Is Busy!

Hi all. Life has been busy! I have not given an update in a long, long time. There is not much to say about my fitness. I am finally getting the upper hand on the pop problem. I think they need a pop anonymous program. Ha ha.
 
On a personal note, I have had the most awesome thing finally happen for my family! After 18 years, my brother and his wife have adopted a baby girl. I am happy to say I had a very big part in helping it happen. The birth mom is also very happy that she got to choose them as Chloe Elizabeth’s parents. They were there in the room as she arrived on January 12. She is such a miracle for our family. So I’ve been busy being an aunt.
 
I am happy to say that while I have not lost a lot of weight, I have not gained any. Being on antidepressants is a very hard reality. I have tried to lower and cut out one of the two I am on. Every time I try my hands break out again with eczema. Darn it.
 
My time is also taken up by my family and my mom. Being a widow at 60 is not fair for her and also hard. That being said, I really need a ROAD TRIP for CND. I have not traveled since January 5 and I am in dire need to get away and do what I love to do!

That is great news Val!!! You will have to send pics! Beautiful name!

Being on antidepressants are difficult. I know that your hands are important to you.Duh. The breakouts make it hard to do your job...

I have a Pepsi addiction. I have cut way back but I can't give them up all together. I can but I don't want to yet. I have been off my meds(antidepressants) since April of last year. I need one vice.Keep checking in. We are here for you! Miss ya!

Val good to see you, hang in there. It is hard to accept help sometimes, especially in the form of meds, but if they are helping that is a positive thing.

Congrats on becoming an Aunt, that is amazing news! It is hard to wish for a baby for so long, I wish them all the best :o)

I think pop annoymous would def be a huge program! I found it wise for me personally to realise giving it up completely was setting myself up for failure. Now that I know I am going to treat myself to a dr pepper once a month it is much easier to pass it up at other times.

Glad you are not gaining, totally understand how it feels to not be losing. Being healthier is an unending journey and sometimes you just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other and move forward!!
