I Am Back! Missed You!

[Pookeyism 1,143]

Hello everyone. I am back. My apologies to everyone for being away, but I could tell I was near burn-out and really did not want to get to a point that I went BO all the way, so I stepped back. In hindsight I should have said something but I did not expect to be gone so long.

I am doing OK. I am in reluctant maintenance, lol. I have picked up my sword fighting in earnest and building up my muscle mass, and since my weight loss had slowed to a crawl I decided to up the calories via Protein and veggies and give my body some time to adjust, and heal from a couple of new sports injuries (sports injuries, ha-ha!).

However, as September draws to a close and I hover in the size 14 area, I do wonder if I have enough in me to get to a size 10. I think realistically that is about as far as I want to push myself. I do not want to go any further down than I will be able to maintain, and I think I can maintain it – if I can lose it. This begins what will probably be a very slow process, since I cannot compromise on the food front. I.MUST.HAVE.MY.PROTIEN. LOL!!!

Things have been eventful, and for me Fall represents the end of the year, so I will be dealing with my Mom’s death through that, and again for the Holidays which I hate to admit but I would pass right through them if I could – but they are my Hubby’s favorite time of the year. I will not do that to him.

Previous NSV I missed posting (I think)::: I FLEW!!! Google acro-yoga, you will see what I mean. I am preparing for the 5k Zombie run in December, and for my birthday, I will be celebrating by taking the Victoria’s Secret card I get each year (and usually give away) and go buy a “Pink” Sweatshirt for the winter.

I hope to be on here regularly, even if not daily, and look forward to getting to know our new members and touch base with old friends.

Welcome back! I've been somewhat slacking on posting here as well, mostly because I just started a new business venture and I'm buried under it. I have employees for the first time EVER!!!

So you guys have a life! Yayyyyyyyyyy! Glad to hear. I have been distracted from participating on this site as much. I still come on daily but find myself being very selective and sometimes i don't know what to say. I'm in a funk! LOL Good to hear from you guys!

Welcome back everyone!!! I too come out to the site quite a bit less than I used to and don't post near as much as I have in the past. Congrats on your new business Lissa... what type of business did you start?
