I am alive

If you have stopped by in the last week or 2 you may have noticed my blog was blocked. Sadly, an old friend (who is now an ex-friend) was reading and making some 'unnecessary' comments. I think I have solved the problem.
Anyways, a lot is new with me. I am slowly coming to truths with the scale. I have been struggling trying to get back down in the low 120s and it's been torture. Between working out and calorie counting, I have nothing to show. So I am focused on my exercise. It seems to be what I can stick with. My eating is not out of control, but could be better. I figure if I focus on the exercise I will at least be making up for my nibbles and bites. Overall I am satisfied with the way I look. Sure I wish my stomach was flat, but it's getting better.
Work has been crazy since I have been back from Hawaii. We came home to 38 people laid off...fortunately Derek and I were still employed. I hate it though, the tension between people is like walking on eggshells. My best friend was laid off, I know that she will find something though. Hopefully things start to get busy again and we can bring back a few of the people.
Derek is in school 3-4 nights per week now. It gives me plenty of time to get stuff done around the house and jump on the treadmill as I please. So far I have finished off one of the guest bedrooms and this week I am tackling the walk-in closet! I can't wait to have some organization.
My sister announced to me last week that she was leaving her husband. Although I knew that it might come to this eventually, it took me for surprise and I have done a lot of praying for her and Rosie. Rosie is growing so much lately. We are taking her to Florida on Friday for 10 days and I can't wait. I will have to get some pictures posted when I get back.
One final thought...actually this is the thought that is on my mind 24 hours a day lately. Derek and I finally saw a fertility specialist. We are not trying yet, but there are some issues due to his diabetes that we knew might 'hinder' pregnancy. We were given some hope that with IVF or IUI we might conceive some day. We are thinking of TTC sometime next August. I can't read enough about it though. I am scared and excited to begin the process. I guess for now I just need to focus on keeping us as healthy as possible.
