I am working on weight loss and general health improvement. I want to alleviate my osteoarthritis, lower my cholesterol count, sleep better, reduce stress, be able to buy clothes that fit--just to be healthier and more confident all around.

JUST DO IT!
PLAN AHEAD!
NO MORE EXCUSES!
STOP, THINK, TALK TO YOURSELF.

Deborah....just wanted to check in on you. I've missed hearing from you on the thread lately. I know you have a lot to keep you busy right now, but hope you are able to still take a little time just for you...even if it's just to sit still for a minute : ) Have a great weekend!

P.S. I was so excited that Danny won BL...what a transformation. He actually only lives about 45 min. from me. He was a good representation of an Okie...we sometimes don't get a fair shake in media portrayal,lol ; D

Hi Deborah!

It sounds like you are going through an extended period of stress and what I call ACKness...when you just want to say...ack...and hide,lol. Hang in there and try not to let it completely derail you. You are stronger than your circumstances...even when they drain every last ounce of energy and willpower you have....you can do it. Stay away from the scale and try to do what you can to get good and enough rest at night...and try to get a walk or something in...even when you least feel like it...or feel like there is no time...I am finding it helps to cope with it all so much. I'm glad you shared and gave us the opportunity to encourage you....hang in there....hopefully calmer seas and easier days lie not too far ahead. (((HUGS)))
~L

P.S. I'll be praying about your promotion...stay positive...and isn't it wonderful that your students were able to let you know you've made an impact both professionally..and personally...you are awesome!
