Updated picture of me and Carter on his birthday, April 08.
This picture of me is actually when I was very thin and very sick. But it's one of my favorite pictures. I had celiac disease and didn't yet know it. I was down to 132 pounds then. Many people were worried that I looked so sickly thin. When we figured out that I had Celiac disease, and I started the gluten free diet, I gained almost all of the weight back! Before I got pregnant, I was 154 and about a size 13 and very satisfied ...

I'm writing my final entry. My membership expires on April 17th. I've been logging on and checking blogs. Not commenting much, just enjoying keeping up with people and I'm going to miss that.

But the good news is I'm on Facebook so you can find me there.
When I started with CK a little over 2 years ago, I was very overwhelmed with my life and focusing (uh, perhaps you could say obsessing) gave me an escape from it all. But it really backfired and I gained about 40 pounds since then. E...

By the way, I am doing another race tomorrow. It's a duathlon: 2 mile run-12 mile bike-2 mile run.
I am pretty nervous about it as I've only done a four mile run twice, but I think I'll be okay. This is more than I did in the triathlon in August where I did 12 mile bike and 3 mile run.

Today is really cold this morning so I am also worried about the weather in the ...

I really miss CK and all my friends here. I stopped blogging for 2 reasons. One is time. Reading and respoinding to other people's blogs (which I love to do) was taking up a lot of my time and focus. Now that I'm working part time, there is less time for me to do these things.
But here is probably the big reason. I'm just tired of writing about my failures and struggles with weight loss. And I felt like I was doing that all the time. And truly, I have not had many successes since I stop...

yes, I am still here. I have dropped in here and there to read a few blogs and check in. But while I was in Chicago, I didn't feel like blogging and it's been hard to get back into since being back.
I underwent a big change while I was visiting my family. I felt like I got in touch with who I really am or something.
I"m not really sure what happened. I just started thinking about my life very deeply and decided that I'm not going to put up with my husband's poor treatment anymore! ...

Leaving in the morning for Chicago. Don't know when I'll get a chance to check in, but I will have internet access. So hopefully within a day or two that I arrive.
I'll miss you all while I'm away.
