My Apologies
I first of all would like to give my sincerest apology for disappearing like I did back in Jan 2011. After my granny passed away, I didn't want to do a thing, and then an aunt and a friend passed away in March 2011, making feel numb and finally the man I was involved with for 5 years, was seeing someone else at the same time all along. The latter I found out in Sept 2011.
So the wind in my sails was kind of knocked out there and I have been trying to find ME again.
I have been off work, since June 2011, due to my Fibromyalgia. My insurance company has set me up for an exercise regime, that will go for three months--I should say the membership is good for three months. I just got back from working out, and I am still waiting to start to feel better physically. I started at the beginning of February and I had high ambitions about going 3x a week and kicking ass. Well after my first workout there, I realized that that wasn't a realistic goal to start out with, so I changed it to twice a week. I am disheartened though as I haven't seen or felt any changes. So this week I will go 3x and see what happens.
Of course while I had been off, being sedentary was my worst enemy. I have gained some of the weight back and that is making so scared that what I gained won't come off again. I never did reach my final goal and that has also felt like a kick to the stomach. It will be coming up to my 2ND surgiversary in June and I would so like to be much closer to goal.
Excuse the ranting and whining, but I just needed to put this out there and try to alleviate some stress.
Love you all
Cheers

There is a meet and greet in Wpg on April 1st, you should come out, sounds like you need some good old fashioned support and encouragement. Your story is the kind people need to hear as we sometimes think this surgery is going to end all hardships ....... there's still gonna be struggles. Be strong and hope to see you at the M & G.
