Hello Ladies,
I haven't been around for a few months. My life has been a bit chaotic. My dad had emergency major heart surgery and almost died during surgery. It is a long and slow recovery process and I've been busy helping take care of him. Then I threw my back out trying to help him out of bed which got me stuck in bed for almost 2 weeks. Never felt pain like that in my life! And before all of this happened...I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism ..pre-diabetes..and severe depression(surprise surprise!). I was given a pay cut at work(thankful to still have a job tho) and my live in boyfriend is a car salesman and struggling for obvious reasons. Needless to say times are rough for us and the added stress is really taking its toll on our relationship(pretty much in the crapper right now for lack of a better term). And just when things seemed to start to calm down...on Friday my uncle found my aunt unconcious on the bathroom floor. She had a brain annurism. They operated on Sunday and so far so good but still too soon to till if and how much brain damage may have been caused. So all of this has given me little to no time to focus on myself and eating right. I did gain some weight back but was able to take 5 lbs back off in the past week or so. I don't think I'm going to start back on phase 1...maybe phase 1.5. I finally found my diet mojo again lol. I'm motivated and back on track and praying to find some peace of mind and happiness in the mean time. Ok sorry for such a long post. Thanks for listening!
