Sorry I have been out of touch for so long. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has responded on my journal to offer words of encouragement. It means a lot to me.
I had to take some time out from everything to rest and recouperate from a really emotional week. It helped a lot and I am ready now, more than ever, to continue pursuing my goals and dreams.
I did some research, for peace of mind, and solidified my opinion that I would have a strong case for a wrongful termination suit. However, I decided that I don't want to spend any more time or energy on what is in the past, especially since I wouldn't really consider applying for unemployment as I am planning to be self-employed.
DH and I made a commitment to eating at home more often to save on money and so far it's been great. We are eating more healthy, spending more time together, and saving a ton of money at the same time. I have to remember how to cook! I found some steaks in the freezer today that have been there for over a year. I wonder what the statute of limitations is on frozen foods, hehe.
I didn't make my end of month weight loss goal but I am giving myself a little leeway for all things considered. I have a new goal, though. My birthday is 2/25 and I want to get to 225 by 2/25. My stretch goal is to get to 214 by March 2nd which would be 100 lbs. lost at the one year mark from when I started this journey.
Thanks again to all my buddies who encourage and inspire me to continue on this journey. I am more thankful than ever for all of you!

Ditto; the new pic looks great. I've eaten Omaha Steaks, that were more than a year old, an they were great; but they'd also been vacuum packed as well, during freezing. I had no intention of throwing away 24 oz Porterhouse steaks; not going to happen! Enjoy your steaks. :-)

ShyGuy, maybe they will be ok as stir fry or fajitas. They are definitely not top shelf quality like Omaha Steaks. They are boneless, though, so maybe...

Great new photo! You are looking good, lady! LOL about the freezer food...I have done that before as well...we look at the package and say, "what the heck was that?" You will fly above the crap and see it all as a blessing!

Your photo! So pretty and your hair is pretty! Congradulations in advance for the 100 pounds lost! WOW WOW WOW, I need tips, how do you keep going when you slip, or do you just get into a great groove after a while! Keep it up!
