Nice to see everyone!!!!

Well hello to all, I have had a very busy (stressful) summer and it was my goal to move from 159-160 into the 140's which is my goal...well I only moved up....to 169 so time to put the brakes on and get back to business. I haven't been getting my water, my exercise, my protien...really nothing that resembles a plan so it is no suprise that over the last three months I have put on 9 pounds. NASTY......I need to do everything...I even missed my B12 shot last month...it seems I had way too many other people depending on me...both at home and work...... and we were introduced to cancer in the family this summer so it has been really not about me....however...if I don't take care of myself .....I will be no use to anyone....... I think many of us ladies are in the same boat...I will post again soon and it will be with some progress....hugs to all...yes....where is Pam....she was the reason I kept checking the board.... Karen

Hi Karen, I'm sorry that you've had such a stressful summer. You are so right... we tend to put everyone and everything else ahead of our selves... thinking that their needs are so much more important. Take care of yourself so you can be of help to other family members. The weight or *number on the scale* NOT AS IMPORTANT AS TAKING CARE OF YOU!! Hope things get better. Irene

Hi Karen! Gee, we must be twins! Same thing here - as soon as one thing is taken care of there are two or three things to replace it!! I really need to get back to basics too. Before we know it the holdays will be here and we all know what that means!! I'm going to check in with my progress too. Hugs, and so nice to hear from you! Nancy

Hi Karen Sorry about the stressful summer. You are right: take care of you, so you can better take care of others.
