I'm testing my emotional waters to see if I am ready to come out of the dark.
I've shared with many of you that I miscarried, but I know there are some friends that I haven't told. In self protection mode, I told as many people as I could in as short a timeframe as I could so I wouldn't have to repeat it or feel ambushed by someone who didn't know I'd lost the baby. At the time that seemed the only way to go. I don't feel quite so vulnerable now.
Physically, I'm doing well. I had a D&a...

I'm in a re-assessing kind of place about a number of areas of my life.
I need to work harder at my diet macros and perhaps adjust the level. I've gained weight. I believe it is from travel and not being very strict and not being very consistent with logging. All the things that make a person say 'duh'. I consistently need to find motivation and be proactive about it. I was doing well with the higher protein more natural foods and then somehow it just disappeared from my priority list.
