So I am in restart mode. Got out of the game three weeks ago after hurting my back while helping my gramma get moved into assisted living. (Dementia is a terrible thing, by the way. And we will be moving her again soon.) In the days prior to moving her, our family had to take shifts watching her because she decided to take a walk on the town at 1:30 in the morning. By the time my kids and I got home from our daily shifts, it is 7pm, and who the heck wants or has time to make dinner that late? So fast food became our family friend. Then vacation rolled around followed by a wacky work schedule. (I work nights and was stuck 1 on 1 off 2 on 1 off now 3 on. Yuck.)
I know, sounds like a bunch of lame excuses, but I am done with that. I am holding myself accountable, starting over. Here I go. Wish me luck!! :flowerforyou:

    Good Luck!

    I gained back about 3 pounds over vacation, but I think I can drop it all this week b/c I suspect a lot of it is fluid retention from too much sodium and not enough water. Even so, I am also resetting today!

    Also, I had a grandmother with dementia...it is truly hard to experience!
