I am a caregiver. I usually work with hospice cases. I work a week on for 24/7 and then a week off. I miss my hubby and my faithful dog "Gracie" when I am away. My work is both rewarding and emotionally draining. My diet and exercise program is off most of the time. But I have decided to make losing the weight that I have regained a priority. I want 8 pounds gone by Thanksgiving and the balance by Dec 10th. So I will have to work hard at staying on plan under unusual circumstances. I can and will do it! I am a young 46 (great genes!) and have a blessed marriage. My hubby deserves a sexy, fit wife and it BETTER be ME!! LOL!!
