Ok two posts in 1 day

Wow! I read my blog posts from early last year. It's depressing - I was fighting the same things last year - and weighed less back then!

Well ok. I suppose there is only one thing to do - make sure that next year, I can look back at this point at being the lowest point in my life, in many ways, and that next May, I can look at myself and be proud of what I have done.

There I go planning ahead again. I just said I wouldn't be doing that. Ok - tomorrow I will post about what I ate and drank today, physical activity, and any other interesting bits. One day at a time.

I am very excited to be getting a new member of our household this afternoon - Jamie aka Helen of Troy - a rescue dog. We're getting the last of our background checks at noon - checking on our cat's shots, to make sure they are up to date. Helen is a lab mix and is very sweet, and loves playing with Bilbo, our lump of a beagle. We are hoping that Helen will invigorate Bilbo into action. I am hoping she will go running with me too. With my ankle still healing, and my weight still so high, I will not be able to run too fast or too far, but I am hoping she'll motivate me.

I had been getting very interested in having another child, once we get settled in our new location. I am not sure where I will end up, but I am hoping it's somewhere in SW VA. However, with some doubts about my personal situation, another child may not be in the cards. I am trying not to mourn over someone not yet born, but still. If not another pregnancy, I was hoping to adopt. We'll see.
