Much Sadness

I haven't had the chance to blog for a while now. My family went to St. George on the 14th for a much needed vacation (to receive a call on the 17th in the middle of the night) that my father-in-law passed away after a two year battle with Lou Gehrigs (ALS). My father-in-law was one of the most kind men I know...he will be greatly missed. The next morning we were on our way home to repack and fly to upper Michigan. To add to the stress and sorrow, my little dog, Hobbs, was ill.

Over these past 11 days I have ate better than I would have under the same circumstances a year ago but have been pretty disappointed with myself that I have made the food choices I did. For several days it was difficult to exercise with the funeral, packing and traveling but have been exercising faithfully since. Sometimes I wish, under stress, that I would not eat. I know that this is not just a 100 day heart challenge but a lifetime challenge.

I look forward to getting back home and getting back into a routine again.
