With that said, my youngest started preschool last week and is now there two days a week - this gives me 3 hours every Tuesday to do what I want. As of yesterday, I started up again with my personal trainer and we will be meeting 1-2 times a week for at least the next five weeks. I have figured out a schedule to get a workout of some sort in at least 5 days a week, and I have labs scheduled soon at the MD, so I am trying to focus on taking each day as it comes.
I haven't fallen off the face of the earth! While losing weight and getting healthy are priorities to me, there are other things I rank higher. My daughter has suffered a bit of a set back with her health (in regards to her allergy) and that has taken precedence over essentially everything else. Due to the cost of her food, hubby and I have basically been eating crap (which is cheap) in order to make certain she is able to get everything that she needs, We are slowly trying to regain control of our food and finances, but at least we are finally getting back on track.

Hang in there, Joslyn! It's possible to eat cheap and healthy, but it takes a lot of mental energy, and I know you're devoting so much of that already to your daughter's health. I totally get it. We're rooting for you!

Here's hoping that you are able to get on track. It's hard to make losing weight a priority when there are so many other things. You know we're here to cheer you on!

I know I have trouble staying on track myself, and all I have to do is basically care for myself and my husband. And he's very easy to please and is trying to maintain his weight.... You're so busy with your little ones and all that you have going on, so I give you a ton of credit. Hope you can carve out some time for yourself - you deserve it - and it sounds like you have done that already. Good luck. Hope you have a good week!

Joslyn is a 37 year old always confused, struggling to be better, eager to learn, Star Wars fanatic, stay at home mom just trying to figure this thing called 'life' out. She spends her days trying to figure out what to feed her five year old (she is allergic and intolerant to corn/corn derivatives) without breaking the bank, playing with and homeschooling the girls, playing chauffeur to the kids, running errands, and working on various home improvement and craft projects. She is loud, opinionated, and brutally honest (which makes her difficult to get along with) – which is why she can accept that over the years she went from being ‘pleasantly plump’ to morbidly obese and needs to do something about it already. She will be incorporating weight loss and healthy eating into her training for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer this June – which she is determined to complete this year!!!
