I'mmmmm baaaaaack!!!!

Hello to all ! I will make a long story as short as I can...... I started getting sick in May - got a funny rash that was white in the middle and swollen and red on the outside - had NO energy al all - sore all over - dizzy etc -  I was diagnosed with Lyme disease - I had an allergic reation to doxycyclene - had to go to liquid amox - NOT good - I got a reaction on my tongue and all down my throat - finally got some antibiotics that worked and with that and a total of 5 other meds including prednizone () that I had to take for months I am better now. so then I think things can only go up hill right???  WRONG!   I lost 2 cousins that were both in their 30's in 1 weeks time, and my sister and I are not talking to our father.  Which is a whole other story.  So be it that I am about 30 lbs back up..... (thanks to the prednizone) but I am here and healthy. and i do have some good news too!  I am engaged !!! We were just going to settle for another baby, but we decided to do things the right way this time and do the wedding 1st.  I have 2 boys and he has 1 and they all live with us.  So we are going to try 1 more time for a girl to complete our family. Anyway....It was so nice....we were on vacation in hampton beach and he got the ring.....then he asked the kids permission....it was so cute.   So we set a date of 3-1-08 if all goes well. So now that I am healthy and not on any meds, I can focus on losing weight again.  I have an even greater incentive now!  A wedding dress . Well, I just wanted to fill you all in on whats been going on and why I have been MIA.  But I'm back with avengence! I have been eating very well and I even started back at the gym.  Its not much mind you but its something.  I have only been doing a mile or a little over on the treadmill.  (you gotta start somewhere) So I missed you all and hope I can get back on the right track! Love you all !!!   Bree
