I'm sorry that you're having struggles with your DH, I hope that you're able to figure things out in a way that is good for you.

We ARE in better places now.

Congrats Gwen! What a great year and a half it has been for you... very inspirational.

I'm glad you and I have had this journey about the same amount of time (sleeved 8/14). Yor posts and comments have been very helpful and insightful. Keep up the good work and WAY TO GO!!

It's been an amazing year and a half. I never, ever knew that this process would lead to me figuring what I want to do with my life. :D

Thanks!

You never cease to impress me, Gwen. I think returning to college and working towards a career in fitness is an outstanding path for you to follow. I'm so proud and happy for you

I'm super excited! And scared. Mostly excited!

As I've been thinking about it more, and researching, the idea is sort of coalescing that I might then do a BS in Gerontology. The idea of helping older people to be more mobile and fit is really speaking to me. Especially since we, as a people, are living so much longer and staying mobile so much longer as well!

Go Gwen! I went back to school at 29 and got my degree with honors. Yes - we are more driven to do well older and more appreciative of the gift. You will be so happy that you have done this.
