HAPPY NEW YEAR friends!! Hoping everyone is having a great one so far!
Thank you soooo much Katie (pm) Mike, Patty, Erica, Brenda, and Kym for stopping by my journal with such sweet holiday wishes for me and my family...feels so good to know you're thought of when you're away:+)
Well, i got back from Syracuse late last night and i MUST tell you the visit i had with Errin this time was unlike ANY of the other's ones i had with her during the year of 2007. For those of you who don't know this...my daughter Errin whose 29 has MS, and experienced terrible relapses, and quite frequently last year:+( which made my visits with her very sad and emotional, and ESPECIALLY being her mom and having to see and take care of her while she suffered physically as well as emotionally and to see her obviously sinking into a state of depression most of the time..it was TUFF to see, but things are looking upward now thank God due to a new medication the doctors are currently treating her with seemingly is doing wonders and have lessoned her relapses BIG time, and she IS a very happy camper right now knock on wood, and her mom is too:+)..and of course seeing and visiting with Jaelyn and Jaden (grandbabies) was such a HAPPY time, and especially on Xmas morning..LOL! Except for one thing which i will speak about next, the overall visit was very fulfilling.
OK, i could just shoot myself! I didn't do so well with the eating part as i've been doing and gained 4 pounds:+( YES i let my guard down, and YES, this can even happen while maintaining. I donno what da heck happened to my usual rational thinking??...it went somewhere and i truly paid for it...i didn't drink the water, instead drank Dr.Pepper, snacked unhealthly (Dorito's, tootsie rolls, etc.) PLUS i had UNSENSIBLE portion sizes and that's a definite NO NO, plus i didn't do a darn stitch of exercise...i was just plain BAD!!...so all of you newbies reading this as well as my fellow maintainers DON'T follow MY lead..MAJOR damage done! GEESH!..it is VERY easy to fall off and i unfortunately gave into my temptations...BUT now i must musta up enough mental rationale to get myself back up and running again with sensible eating:+)
CONGRAT'S to all who've loss and to those continuing to be compliant no matter what!:+)))
This is all for now!
Cheers!!!
