Well Sorry that i haven't been on in a couple weeks. I just got over being sick. They told me that from what the test showed i had viral meningitis. It took me real close to 2 weeks to get the fevers gone and to get some energy back. I postponed my diet because of it because i had to drink massive amounts of Gatorade. Also i had to eat Popsicles and stuff like that. All of which are not on my diet plan. I will weigh myself Tuesday Sept. 2ND and start it all over again. The reason i am not starting back up this week is because i am not 100% yet and this is also the first week of school for my kids. Then if that wasn't enough i am tossing in one last family vacay over labor day weekend!! Our family has gone through so much in the past couple years that we are in need of another family vacay. One was just not enough for this summer. Besides i am a firm believer that it is good for the soul to get away every now and then even if it is to a cheap campground. The outdoors can be a good soul cleanser. At least for our family it is. lol All i know is that while being sick the only thing that kept me going and gave me the ability to fight it was knowing i had something to look forward to. A reward. This weekend the sand will be in my toes, the sun on my face, and i will hear the waves while my kids splash in them. Heavenly plain and simple. Well i am going to go for now. My kids only have a half day so i am trying to get a few things done before they get out. Have a great day!
