Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!! Here it is January 2, 2012 and I find that I have gained five pounds over the holidays, have eaten quite freely this holiday season, and now I am paying for it. Not sure exactly why, but twice in the past week I've gotten food stuck in my stomach, and had to throw up before I could get any relief. Not a good sign!!! I haven't thrown up in quite a long time. Michael asked me today if I thought my stomach was trying to tell me something.......smarty pants!!! Needless to say I guess I am going to have to really pay close attention to what my stomach is telling me and kick myself back into gear here.

The holidays are finally over and although I'm dreading the long winter and several months now before I get another vacation, I am glad to be getting back into a regular routine and start getting myself back on track in more ways than one. We got Dianne moved back home a few weeks ago and she seems to be doing fine,and Michael moved back home the day after Dianne moved out. Michael is job hunting and has decided to go back to school in August to get his degree in psychology and get a Ph.D. Right now he is considering very strongly a school in New Mexico. Brock is still happy in his job at Amazon and we are praying very hard that Toyota will find placement for Keith with his restrictions within the next couple of weeks. This week they will finally open up the freeze they've had on transfers, so we are hopeful that something will break for him soon. Hopefully he and Michael will be working again soon, and our 2012 will get going in the right direction. It is much easier for me to stay focused on eating right when everyone around me is doing well. Michael says I will be his first psychological case......WOW!!! Probably a very difficult case to start out with!!!

Sooooo......goodbye to the chocolate, sugar and all those other foods that haunted me through these holidays, and hello to healthy eats, journalling and exercise!!! Tomorrow I will try walking with my foot and see how things go, hopefully well!!!
