Brenda graciously invited me to join you all here and I'm glad she did! I really need the support right now.
A little bit about myself....
I'm 43 soon to be 44, SAHM who has been married forever and have three children ages 26, 15 & 8 (yes, I have PCOS, lol) and I have two wonderful grandchildren, ages 2 & 4.
I started Atkins nearly 4 years ago and went from 256 to 189 in no time at all, then I got ill....I've had a few surgeries with my FINAL being this past Sept (axillary dissection and reconstruction not due to cancer but infection of my lymph system) and now I'm ready to get back on track and not only lose what I've gained, but I really want to reach my goal, finally.
My 15 year old son is joining me this go around and I'm excited to have a partner in this, I'm sad that he has a need to do it, but I'm happy that doing it was HIS idea and I didn't have to say a word...he's a big boy anyway, but he's been having some high blood pressure issues recently and that scares me.
Anyway, enough about me.
Leenie~ Have a great day at work.
Brenda~ Thanks so much for the invite and congrats to you and your hubby for snagging that 8 pointer!! Yes, it IS exercise, lol.
Theo's Girl~ I used to have really bad PMS, I mean REALLY bad. My doc put my on medication (anti-depressant) and all is well, again...except for the cravings!
Stress can do some not so kind stuff to us, try to take it easy and I find that journaling my feelings (privately) helps me deal with the issues rather than turning to food, which is my biggest obstacle. I wish you a stress free day!
June~ Same goes for you, too. Stress just seems to be part of our every day life and we need to find healthier ways to deal with it. I'm not nagging on my first day here, LOL!, , just sharing what I've learned myself.
I wish you a stress less day, as well.
Mrs. H~ Congrats on your 8 pointer, too.
Deer season here opens in August and it's over, now. My 15 year old got a nice buck this year, too.
Congrats on the upcoming birth of your daughter!! Her name is so pretty.
Good luck with your ultrasound and share pics, if you can.
Karen~ Good luck with your post op appt. What kind of surgery did you have? I hope your healing is on schedule.
Congrats on the 1.5 loss! Great job!
Well girls, I'm off to look around. It's been a while since I've been a participant here.
Hugs,
Rose
