Daily Check In - Winter 13/14

DahliaBanker

Hi guys! Hope all of you are well. Thought I'd keep in better touch while we wintered in Florida but that didn't happen. I didn't gain any weight though! Now back home and still winter so hopefully I'll get back into logging and posting regularly! Cross your fingers!

Just stopping by to say that I miss you and miss this but my life isn't such that I can do this daily. I am checking in on most weekends and logging daily although a few times I miss the midnight cut off. I am doing a family challenge and just resigned from one of my smaller jobs. It was hard after such a long un-underemployment time to realize I could let go of it. My two main part-time jobs are going well. I get as much exercise as possible. Still fighting weight gain rather than working on weight loss. But I am fighting. So maybe I will be back someday and wish you all well til then.
