    Hello remember me???

    Hi everyone. I am still around. I am still holding at 102 lbs down and hopefully going to make 2009 my year.

    It has been a rough go the last while. With medical issues I am finally back on track with the help of my best friend.

    I have decided that come September I am going to start making a career shift into what I have always wanted to do. I am going to get into Sports training and therapy. I want to help other achieve their goals. I am really looking forward to this possibly being my new job in the next 3 years. My old job is going very well.

    I have just recently contracted to build my first home. I am very excited. My old house is getting way too small for my family. I made sure that my oldest and middle are no longer sharing a room. It will be awesome. I get to pick everything in my new home from color to hardware`, so that the home I build is mine.

    So with all the changes I have started out eating Low Glycemic hopefully switching back to Atkins. I do not want to stress my body too quick as a drastic change in eating could send me into seizure so slow and steady 1 morsel at a time.

    Thanks all I just wanted you all to know I was still alive and for the most part doing well.

      It feels good to be back again. It is a bit scarey. I am really hoping for some big changes. I also hope that with some weight loss my healh will also improve more. My body is very depressed. I guess on a good note I did not gain I have very much maintained my loss.

            I am very excited about making this house totally my own. With the extra equity money I am going to treat myself to a new couch and finally put up some pictures of my kids among other things. It will be amazing

                          Hey all,

                          It is very exciting. I am doing well today. I cut the carbs down a bit more today but, \I got a really bad migrain. It kinda scared me. I just relaxed and had some protein and the headache did finally subside. I have to be very careful with drastic changes my body revolts pretty hard.

                          I am going to get a ton of exercise too. The area I am moving to has a huge greenspace and is ery runner friendly. I am very excited.

                          I also have my new job in the fall on the days I won't be working for the rain company so I will be able to go to the gym as well.

                            Hi, Sarah! Glad to see you're back! I remember you. You are one of the people who served as motivation and inspiration for me when I first started this journey.

                            So glad you're back.

                            Congrats on the house and on the new job direction!
