bittersweet

I held a brand new baby, fresh from heaven, this morning.
What a sweet, handsome boy born to dear friends.

My emotions are very close to the surface right now.
I gave myself the month of June off of my diet and exercise, which was a big mistake. While I maintained, my habits were so easily broken! I took a medicine to try and get my cycle back to normal and with the start of summer, visitors, and a change in routine, I gave myself a break, with the delusional thoughts that the medicine might work right away.

It didn't.  They want me to take more of the medicine. I am struggling getting back into my routine, it's been a daunting week.  

I held this baby, struggling with my absolute joy for my dear friend and self pity for myself, wishing I had all the answers.
Praying that I can get back on track.
Hoping.

I was thinking about you the other day and wondering how you were doing. I haven't been very good in tackling my obstacles either. We can do this! No excuses!

Don't get too down on yourself, Liz. Just take the information in as data to help guide you in the right direction in the future. We're all subject to mishaps in our journeys, but that doesn't mean we're on the wrong path. This is what I always think of: http://jparadisirn.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/img_1831.jpg
