Hi Shauna,

It's easy tofocus on those around us but please be sure that by taking care

of you first you are taking care of them. I know how hard it is. i'ts taken

me 25 years to put me first and my family is better for it. I am healthier,

and more emotionally stable (that sounds like i was a nut case, lol) but

with the diabetes and not eatng or sleeping right I had hormonal swings and the

ups and downs that went with it.

Biggest things get enough sleep, I even went to the doctor for Lunesta to

help. I wasn't able to sleep through the night. I don't take them everynight

only when I know it's going to be a restless one. I cannot tell you how much

sleeping 7 to 8 hours a night has made.

What I plan to do this year.

I closed down my retail and store and will run a smaller version from home.

I am going to make a menu plan to plan our daily dinners. My grandmother

did this when we were little. It saves money, time and energy. You don't have

to think that night what to eat and maybe eat the wrong thing because it's

quick. Also you can make a roast on Sunday and have two other meals like stew

or stoganoff later in the week. This is my # 1 New Years resolution. I

have to do this for the family my husband weighs 290 and is 5'9 " he broke his

back and he needs and wants to lose weight.

Everyone lost a little weight since I had the surgery because I was the main

culprit in going out to eat and buying junk food for the house.

Work out at the gym at least 3x week. I really haven't done an exercise.

Good luck,

Kathy

I have noticed that sleep is MAJOR in succeeding through a day. Real important

or you won't want to do anything. Can't enjoy it either.
