NOW however it is time to get my back side back in gear - I am walking and running with my guys (hubbby and the 4yo and the black lab) each morning - doing yoga during the day with the 4yo and hitting the eliptical as I can. I had 3 protien shakes yesterday and all my pills/vits and 6 litters of water - aiming to repeat that today - working on protien shake number # 2 right now - trying to get in 4 today b/c I dropped 2 pounds yesterday!! my portions are not out of control but are not as good as they could be - I am back to eating from prep bowls unless it is salad - we are eating a LOT of fresh veggie and fruit this summer and trying to only have whole grains and no junk carbs!! hope everyone is doing well - I iwll try to stay up to date on the board now that internet is not an issue -I even installed our DSL my self while hubby was at work yesterday danni 372/207.5/170

Hi Danni, Glad to have you back with us. I'm sorry to hear about all of your troubles, but glad to hear things are looking up. You should be proud of yourself for maintaining your weight when you have had so much stress in your life. In the old day's I know how I would have dealt with all of that. It would have included a lot of ice cream. Welcome back. Life is great, Rick

I am blessed that many of my comfort foods are high protien - and I did learn before life got insane to eat small protions LOL so I made it though thnaks for the welcome back - glad life is great with you - I am smiling today and going up to the local college to enroll for this fall for the first time in 12 years I am willing to put the work in to finish my degree danni

Welcome back our fellow MARCHer! We have missed you, but glad you are back and congratulations for holding steady during all your trials and tribulations. You have had alot to deal with and they say God won't throw us more than we can handle, but you think that is debatable sometimes I know!!!! Don't be a stranger...Barbara

WB Danni!! Glad to see you back. Are you getting flooded in Texas? Stay dry

tons of rain but a few months ago it was a drought so I guess it is all good - it is warm enough to swim between downpours
