Starting AGAIN & dealing with stroke!
 

Ok, I am back AGAIN! CRAP! But, I am here, which is good. Several years ago I had lost almost 30lbs but before I even got a chance to enjoy the new thin me, I had a medical issue come up that threatened my eyesight. Three eye surgeries later, I can see again. But unfortunately, while the eyesight was down, the other senses, namely taste & smell, were heightened......A LOT!

I regained the weight back. So I started again. I even went back to work, which I discovered I loved. I had the job for 3 months (was set to have my 90 day eval that week) when on March 16, 2012, I had a stroke!

So, to make a really long story a little shorter :dizzy:, I am starting AGAIN! But this time, I am doing it while recovering from a stroke! I will be relearning how to walk, and deal with my memory issues, while also getting my weight back under control.

I humbly invite anyone interested in my progress, especially those trying to lose weight and deal with medical issues big or small, to pop over to my new blog (thanks to 3fat chicks and my sons for setting it up) and post their comments, suggestions, and thoughts!

The blog is called: One Step At A Time & I will be using it to chronicle both my weight loss journey as well as my stroke recovery: (http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/onestepatatime/).

So while I hope I can give all of you that extra nudge you need ("See she's doing it and dealing with a stroke!") I could use a few hugs too :hug:

Good for you for getting back at it! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!! :hug:

Wow, well done for coming back and even thinking about weight at this time! That's really amazing. :) Glad to hear you still have your sight and that you're relearning to walk. Very inspirational!
