Wow thanks Val, that is very good advice and I am all for losing my pride and my wall. As hard as this is, I woke up this morning with a sense that I am doing the right thing, for me and for my sitch. Where it will end up is yet to be seen but I feel like I need to do this, and will be better for it. So that is positive, right?

I took the day off today, the kids have no school. I decided to take the day with them and get them some school clothes, take them to lunch. I am very much looking forward to it. Will wake them up after this next cup of coffee.

It is such a beautiful day here, perfect weather for having a day off!!

Had my nutritionist appt last night and we focused on stress, which I thought was appropriate. She was teaching us how stress affects weight, and cortisol levels. She taught us belly breathing and guided meditation. I think I will look for a CD while I am out today, it felt really good and helped with my stress level.

All in all, not a bad day. Hoping for another one today.
