So what happened? Well, the first part of the year I was struggling with stressed induced hives. My son was recently diagnosed with ADHD and struggling in school, I was stressed about work, school and my other activities that I was engaged in. I was just way overwhelmed and my body was telling me so. For almost a month I was on steroids to help suppress my symptoms. I began to eat massive amounts of food to comfort myself. In fact, at one point my son said to me "Mom what is wrong with you?" He knew that the quantity of food I was eating was not me. Well, my clothes started to not fit.
To get back on the exercise bandwagon, my son just learned how to Rollerblade. One day after a birthday party the kids and I went to Play it Again Sports. I figured if I was going to get my son a pair of blades (he was wearing mine) I might as well get myself a "new" pair. Why not, right? A few hours later, while skating with the kids I fell and I fell hard. I broke my radius bone and dislocated my hand. It required surgery and I had a plate, 10 screws and a pin to hold everything together. Almost three months later, I am still in Occupational Therapy three times a week. I have gained a total of 20 lbs since breaking my wrist bringing my total gain to 40. :(
However, now that I shared all that with you...I have good news. After, watching a friends YouTube video and seeing and hearing her excitement about her weight loss, toning and healthy eating, it reminded me about how excited I was when I first started this blog. I went right online and looked at meeting times for WW. In doing so, I found out that my favorite leader has not one but two after work meetings in Park Ridge. Starting next week (Monday), I am back in the chair. Starting today, I am tracking every bites, licks and tastes. All I have to say is I am back and I am going all the way this time!!!!
Happy and Healthy Eating,
Dawnie
