If At First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again!

My mom had a rough time since Spring of 2016. She started with hallucinations then was diagnosed with dementia. She passed away July 31, 2017. To say it has been a very tough year and a half would be an understatement. It has been one of the worst times of my life witnessing my mom's struggle, then decline and then her passing.

We have always been very close. Best friends. And to lose her was like losing a part of me. I miss her everyday but I know she would want me to get back on track and get healthy again. I let everything going on get in the way of staying healthy.

I am now up over 60 pounds from my lowest weight in spring of 2014. So dissappointing but I also know what I've been going through so I try not to beat myself up over it. But if I can't get myself back on track now, it's just going to get worse.

I am closing on a new property for my business this month and that has been quite stressful as well. We've been trying to buy this property since May! I won't go into it, but it's been another thing that has kept me very busy!

But now it's time for me to regain my focus! I am at 244.9 pounds as of this past Friday. My weight just seems to slowly climb up and up and up. I have GOT TO stop this pattern and get headed in the other direction.

Today marks my new beginning and getting back to healthier habbits! I will certainly try to post more often. I know I've struggled off and on to keep this up the last couple of years but I am hopeful that I can start my journal for the long haul again!

Wish me luck!
