Well, in case anybody noticed, or is just curious, I haven't been around for a while... I've still been exercising and for the most part keeping on track with low carbs.. it all started when I caught a stomach bug from my son where i couldn't eat for 4 days, and couldn't drink anything for 3!! Anyway, so then i decided to take part of my tax return and invest in a nice stereo for my car - 2 minutes after getting it installed, my car got totalled by some out of state driver running a stop sign in a parking lot while it was raining... Child got sick again (as a single parent this is fun, cleaning up vomit for 4 days straight). Then i got sick again... oh, plus i haven't been able to sleep more than 2-3 hours a night for the past 4 weeks. Anyway. I am back and better than ever. The good part is, if nothing else, that I have been lucky enough not to gain any weight from this whole extravaganza... actually lost 0.4 pounds as of this morning.

Sorry about the ramblings.

I am so sorry you have been sick. I am glad you are feeling better. I know what it is like being single parent.

:hug :hug :hug :hug :hug

Of COURSE we've missed you!!! As a fellow single parent, I can sympathize. Sometimes it's really overwhelming to be the one that has to deal with everything...and it always seems like everything happens at once, doesn't it? I think you've done a great job of staying on track, despite all that's happened. Glad everyone's feeling better, and welcome back!!! :nod

Lyssie--ugh what a pain on all the stomach bug stuff going 'round! Hate to have it once, but again?!?!?! Stinky (as my almost 10 yr old says)!

Glad you're on the mend, grab that Lysol and spray the place down!

Welcome back!

being a single parent myself I know how stressfull things can get when your having a bad moment thinking a bad thought try what I do. I picture in my head a really good moment like my little on laughing or her doing something completely silly and cute and it really helps me to relieve stress.

plus you have lost 80 lbs since january that is freakin awesome. :icondance
