(Drum roll please) THE PLAN!!!!!

I am baby stepping my way back to a better place. Driving up to Ohio Friday afternoon, I realized how long it had been since I felt just… happy. Enjoying the sunshine & music, looking forward to visiting dear friends. That reality check prompted me to make some changes and some plans.

1. I spoke with my doctor and after a very good discussion, she prescribed Welbutrin to help me through some of the temporary stress (new job, MIL). She also prescribed making the gym a priority and date nights with my husband. You see why I love my doctor!

2. Building my base back up. This week I am getting up at 5:30 and using those 15 minutes to catch up on stuff around the house. I am getting in my water during the day, and going to the gym after work. Next week I will add in an AM walk. Food is planned and prepped for the week.

We had a nice visit with our friends, but they aren’t exactly the healthiest of eaters. Between road food & their house, not a single vegetable was consumed other than the lettuce on my Wendy’s chicken sandwich. Unless you think mashed potatoes (made with 3 sticks of butter!) should count! Uh, no.

Anyway, working hard to re-join the human race. I will keep posting.

Also reading a very good book "When Food is Love" by Geneen Roth. That's the book I would have written if I were articulate.
