Well, How did it go?

Been a while, has it not?
I was very ambitious in my last post, so I thought I would give an update.


I cancelled my YMCA membership.


 My husband and I did really well and each lost 10 pounds and none of it had anything to do with going to a gym. So we cancelled our memberships. My hubby takes advantage of the treadmill when he feels like it. We also found a great park nearby. We still don't do anything as much as we would like to, or perhaps "should," but it is progress, and we'll take it.


Quitting smoking did not work


....until given a good enough reason. I mentioned starting fertility treatments in my last post. Well, I started them. They are torture in many ways. I planned on writing a bunch of posts about the process but could never bring myself to do it. I will say  this: reading about others' experiences online was both helpful and devastating, and I really can't decide whether it was helpful or made me completely insane. But I digress. Today, I do not smoke. I suppose that is the point, non?


We bring our lunches every day.


 It is really a rare week when we eat out, and it is looked upon as a fun treat, which, I think, is great. We also eat 85% of what is in our fridge before it goes bad. Dinners are going well also, so, victory all around. I did order Chinese take out last night though, and it was glorious.


So what's left? Being a crazy panicky person. Ah yes. Still one of those, however I actively take measures all day every day to make it better. I employ aromatherapy in my home and at work. I use breathing techniques when I feel panicked, and I just pretty much use any and every tool that I can to feel more relaxed and happy. It is hard work, but I do it as best I can, and it really helps. That's about all I can ask for, and I'm happy that I'm working diligently and making progress.


So, in 6 months, I'd say that's not too bad. A lot of other things have happened as well. I'll get to those next time.
