As most of y'all know, 2012 has been rough as hell for me (and for many others). I totally let my focus on being healthy to be pushed to the back burner. I can blame stress, depression, & mass chaos all I want, but ultimately it was me.
I have gained back the 30 pounds I lost and added another 4 pounds to it.
Yesterday, I went to the store and loaded up on fruits, veggies & lean meats. I'm not doing WW right now, but am focusing on portion control, water intake, less processed food and trying to cut out fast food (except for Subway) and sodas. D and I both have acknowledged that we need to focus on our health. We are gonna do it together... even if she kicks & screams along the way 
Luckily, the weather has cooled off here to a gorgeous 60 degrees... so we have plans to start walking at the park by our house in the evenings after work. We still have our gym memberships, that have been collecting dust since January, so we have no excuses.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for showing up each & everyday... sharing & celebrating with us all every step of the way.
Game ON!

So glad to see you back PinkieLee!
Don't be too rough on yourself about gaining the weight back....it's incredibly hard to keep it off, let alone keep losing, when we're going through intense stress and emotional stuff.
The good news.....you did this before, and you can do it again. We have faith in you!
