Now I realize this was way more than I have been eating..the ratio is right, enough water..vitamins..not much activity but alot of stress. We'll see about the results of all that stress probably by friday. I need to stay strong for the rest of everyone in our office..I may have to take something to empty my brain so I can sleep..

I also went to TJ Maxx yesterday and got a pair of jeans.  Size 14.  They fit perfectly and actually I bet I could fit into a 12 but I don't like tight pants.  It was pretty cool.  It is a good way to go into my third year anniversary of this surgery which is coming up.  Well that is it for me.  type at you later :)

There's my same Dawn! & Miss Leslie too! How are you ladies doing? I knew, when ever i happen to make it back, that I'd find you two here. Sure is nice to see you too :)
If you havent noticed, I do this on & off thing. I swear, my pattern is like, i can only take it for 6 months or so & then I have to take a break lol Anyways, Im trying to be on the upswing back.

Talk to you again - Soon!

CANDICE! Soooo glad to see you again..and glad you're on the upswing again too. We all have ebb and flow in our lives..right now, the stress is eating me up at work and I'm struggling to keep my composure and control. I have just about exactly a year before I can retire from the rat race but I'll bite a big bullet in doing it and not get enough money to live on..much has to change! I'm actively looking for another place to work. That's how bad it has gotten.

I divide my time between here and facebook to keep accountable and in contact with my *roots* in this journey. On facebook I cheer on the newbies and those in stalls..here I stay accountable to myself and all the grads that lurk and post too. Some days, I think I hear the crickets but that's alright. This is my journey and I'm stuck with sharing it. I'm just really happy to have a few people who need my brand of encouragement..

I hope you are well! Type at you real soon!
