I had a few awesome weeks with Jeff home for the holidays. We took a lot of pictures while at home and while visiting Michigan and California.

I've had an onslaught of migraines recently. I think there are many factors. I got out of my regular exercise routine (about two weeks before Jeff got home), I skipped acupuncture and massage for 6 weeks, and there have been some stressful times. So, I'm slowly getting back on track; acupuncture and massage last weekend. Then I joined the "stupid injury club" after pulling some muscles in my back, neck, and shoulders while doing laundry and playing with the cat.

So I'm catching up here because I want to state my commitments for the upcoming months. I will get back into my morning walks along with riding my wonderful exercise bike. (one without the other is not enough) I will cook more for myself and join a program, if it gets to that point. I am committed to losing 40 lbs by early June so I can enjoy my vacation with my husband as we're going to London, England and possibly surrounding areas. In addition, we still hope to consider at least trying to get pregnant. We have June than late fall to try before he comes home for good next year. I will get this condo organized so I can quit using clutter as an excuse. (I'm easily overwhelmed with projects.)

This is difficult. I know it's not going to be/not supposed to be easy, and I will be the first to admit I can certainly use some friends along the way as good support.
