Hi All

Hope everyone is doing good, it has been a while since I have been on here.  Have had a lot going on and not much time, but my New year resolution is to get back on track.  I have started putting weight back on, and that is not good.  I had stopped working out, and slipping in a depression, with my sister being in the nursing home, and back and forward to the hospital.  My have had some health issues, and we had my husband youngest daughter come live with us about 5 months ago, that was something that took and still is taking alot of adjustment.  I have not been a full time Mom in 7 years.  I am getting back in the swing of things.  

I have 2 weeks left and I will be done with my Bachelors, (graduating with honors)  and I start my Human Service certificate at the end of this month.  Hopefully will be starting my Masters degree within the next few months. 

I am going to try to get to the YMCA tonight to start back in exercising.  I am seeing a differnce in my breathing, my health, my clothes.  I DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO WHERE I WAS IN THE BEGINNING.  If there is anyone here in Marion that would like an exercise partner, please contact me.

Guess I better get going, I am at work and my lunch break is over.

Have a wonderful Thursday.

 Hi Peggy, I am Leah and I am from southern Indiana.
Thanks for posting.  I am still sort of new to the OH site.  I had my lap RNY on October 6th, 2008.
Sounds like you have had a really trying time this last year or so. Having loved ones with illnesses or health problems is so hard on us all. Also having health issues yourself is so difficult.  Also I know how debilitating depression can be.  Its is good that you are recognizing you need to get back on track. I think there is a new thread on here for just that too.  Someone please chime in with the details if you know them on this group.
How great about you getting your degree!!  That is fantastic!! Congratulations!  That is something to be very proud of Peggy! 
Look forward to hearing more from you!  You have a great day too!

Peggy i was thinking about you the other day and i was going to ask if anyone had heard from you.
Congrats on your degree,i cant wait to go back to school.
You have had alot going on in your life lately and now your ready to focus on Peggy again,if i lived closer id be your workout buddy,in the mean time if you need to just talk let me know.
I hope to see you at the clothing exchange...

H E L  L O!!!

Tell your sister hello from me! I think of the 2 of you often! When you are able and in town give me a call! I would love to visit, even if its just for a bit or a drink! I miss ya!

I wish I lived closer, I could use a buddy to exercise with! Good luck in that area! I am right there with ya and need to get back on track! There is a new group/forum here on OH called BACK ON TRACK TOGETHER, I have joined, quite a few have, also! Look forward to seeing on that board as well, maybe!

Good luck with the daughter and being a F?T MOM! I am sure she loves ya! Things will get easier with time, I hope!

Thinking of ya, and wishing ya the best!
