Hey everyone..it's been a few weeks.. I am not on any diet at this time.. a lot has been going on around here.. my mom fell and shattered her femur and had to have surgery and has been in the hospital and is now in a rehab facility to try to relearn to walk.. she's ina lot of pain but a total champ.. I think the only thing I have done for 2 weeks is work, hospital and home.. no outside life.. no working out.
I go and have dinner with her every night and we watch TV or I wash her hair for her something to make her feel better.. My dad is there with her too but he has such issues with blood pressure and heart problems he has been so stressed for her it's taking a toll on his health so needless to say.. I'm a LITTLE STRESSED (pant, pant crazy eyes.. crazy giggle) No really I am fine.. but I haven't even been to the grocery store in weeks.. my fridge is empty.. i have coffee for breakfast.. subway on flatbread for lunch most days and something at the hospital for dinner.. my budget is alll outta whack.
I just wanted to let y'all know I am alive and kickin. I am going on a much needed vacation starting Thursday 6 days lounging by a pool with my best friend pretending we're very far away when we'll really just be in Phoenix, AZ =) I'm upset b/c I did not reach my weight loss goal i had planned before this trip.. but oh well.. I have been holding steady at 28lbs lost. WOOOO! when i get back i will take better care of me.. while still watching my mom and dad so they quit falling apart on me. I have a goal of 20 more lbs by August when I'm going on a tubing trip with a bunch of ladies from high school. whew! This is me. Miss y'all a lot. I will be back! promise!

Good to hear from you again Stacy. So sorry for all the stress you have been under. Sounds like you have at least not gained any weight so that is good with the schedule you have been keeping. Take care of your parents and don't forget to take care of yourself. You vacation will be a great release for you. We'll be watching for your return.

Wow Stacy, I can completely understand EXACTLY where you are at. My mom fell and shattered her ankle 2 years ago and went through all the same. This year she had ankle replacement surgery done, went to rehab, dad (who has his own health problems, heart, BP, etc) took her home and tried to care for her and ruptured a disc, had prostate surgery a week later, then had a stroke. He is 82, mom is 72, so I am right there with ya. Mom is finally able to ealk after 3.5 months, dad has recovered from his disc surgery and the stroke (Praise be to God), but he is still having some bladder issues, and just went back into the hospital this morning.
I will pray for you and your folks. Enjoy your vacation. Caring for our elderly parents is truly difficult, but rewarding at the same time. Be sure to take good care of yourself. I know that is hard. Mom had her surgery on January 26, I started Atkins January 24, and we both know that hospitals are not geared toward that WOE, so maintaining your loss is fantabulous!! You should give yourself a huge pat on the back!
God bless and take care.
