more more more

i'm back on the road again.

this has really been kicking my ass.

lots of things have happened lately to derail me. things being strained in my home life, my grandmother being in the hospital (since october), and general life things. i've changed jobs, i love my new job, but the change was a definitate stress in my life.

i've found a new way of counting calories that is a little more accessible than the way i was doing it before. i am using the notepad function on my phone. even though i have to add them up myself since there is no built in calculator in the notepad, its much easier for me to grab and add something. i could probably use the tiny mental workout anyway.

i've begun my workouts again, lost 10lbs in about 3 days. gained 2lbs back, now i'm down 8. not bad for 5 days.

if you are out there, i really need some support this time. doing it on my own isn't working, and the support systems that i used to have in place are stretched quite thin right now. anyone want to help me out with a pat on the back? :)
