I don't know how it happened, but it did. I totally fell off the wagon. I could use the excuse that life got in the way, but really, my friends know I am on-line ALL the TIME!
A lot has happened since my last post. I need to fill you all in.
I will, promise!
Seriously!

Reflextions & Resolutions
As the new year begins, we often reflect on the year that has just passed. I've never been good at keeping my New Years resolutions, but I am gonna try like I never have before.
So what ARE my resolutions? How much time do you have? OK,OK, seriously I do have a few, but I'll just bore you with the big ones. First is getting back into the healthy lifestyle I lived before Robert died. I am one of those people who have always struggled with weight. I know what I need to do to stay healthy,but the past 2 years I've been in a self loathing mode. Eating & drinking too much. Not exercising at all. I know I can do, I've done it a few times in my life & I always feel so much better physically & emotionally when I am at a healthier weight.
Since I am pregnant, I cannot hit the gym like I'd like, but I will have the healthiest pregnancy to date. I have to. I have been blessed with this baby & I am going to do all I can to achieve that. The doctor has told me I cannot gain more than 20lbs this time around. That is gonna be tough. With both The Princess & Robert I gained 50lbs. When I got pregnant with both of them I was at a weight my body was comfortable with. I was going to the gym a lot. With this baby, I was the heaviest I have ever been in my life, well over 200lbs. I had actually lost a little bit of weight right before I found out about this little Jelly Bean,but still weighted more then I did both times I delivered. It's gonna be tough, but this is a big one I need to keep.
Another resolution is more of a goal. Last year I decided I wanted to run a 5k...well a 5k in Walt Disney World. I let my grief, depression & anxiety run my life.I know this is not something that I may accomplish before 2011 ends, but I want to be on my way to achieving it. Once the baby is born, diet, exercise & training will be #1 ~ after family of course!
Lastly, I want to be a better blogger. Blogging has been such wonderful & Free therapy for me. Through blogging I have found some wonderful people out there on the Internet who have given me such hope & encouragement. If I can help someone by sharing my story the way my Internet friends have helped me this will all be worth it.
