Been a long time...
Hi Lisa - we've never met in person but I followed the trials and tribulations of you and Hailey and added my prayers and well-wishes for all of you - the power of prayer is truly amazing! I'm happy to hear she's doing so well - now it sounds like its time to start taking care of yourself.
That being said I know how difficult that can be - especially when you're caring for someone else - I too am struggling with eating and exercise right now - I spent the better part of two years caring for my ailing mother - we lost her in February. Since then I've been up and down with my eating and exercise - I go gangbusters for a while, then suddenly slack off. I think menopause is not helping my cause, that's for sure, and now I'm dealing with a bad shoulder. Of course those are just 'excuses' - I know better!
Unfortunately Barix is too far for me to get there on a Wednesday night, but I'm marking the next Saturday post-op meeting on my calendar and will hopefully get there.
What is Thirty-One? I've never heard of it. Wish you much luck and success with it, tho.

Hi Kathy...thanks so much for the prayers...we need all we can get! I didn't even touch on exercise...cause I'm not doing any at all, unless you count lifting a 22-pound kid!

I have just came back myself. We all need help from time to time and can always learn from others. Life tends to keep us too busy and when that occurs we lose time to do what should be most important .....keeping ourselves healthy. You are not alone.
Glad to see you back and if I can help out in anyway, please do not hesitate to ask. I am always here for you.

Hey, girlfriend, I've missed you! Glad to see you posting here and reaching out for support. Our kids take up a lot of our time and energy, but you are absolutely right that we have to make our own health a priority too. Looking forward to more of your posts.
Blessings, Jill
