Life goes on, even when it's hard

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

For those of you who follow this blog and were suprised by the "Rick" entry, I apologize. I love my little cousin Amber tremendously and used this blog to express my grief, for her sake as well as mine. They had been together for some time and had just married a few months ago. They were even waiting on their wedding pictures to arrive when Rick Passed. However, even in the face of tragedy, life does go on and so does this "project" of mine.

I'll admit that I have been finding comfort in food through this whole thing. I knew what I was doing while overeating, I just didn't care. But I'm back.

On Saturday morning...

....I weighed in at 229.5 (love those digital scales!). Today, I weighed back in at 235, but I've been constipated so that should go down. I resumed with my morning "shake" today and have been watching the calories like a hawk. I'll be back down there soon, I know it.

We'll all go through these sorts of times. Mine, thankfully, only lasted a couple of days, but if I hadn't made a conscience effort, it could have been much longer, and all my hard work would have went down the drain. I'm thankful I could catch it.
