This has been a big week for me, and it's only Tuesday. Where to start??
I'm Joan, 41, mother to a three-year-old blonde tornado named Joy. The past two years have been beyond hard and it shows. Our daughter Grace was stillborn at almost 39 weeks in September 2008. I had a miscarriage in April 09. We decided we'd ttc until December and then move on. Well, I started taking birth control pills yesterday and it's time to live (and love) the life I have instead of living my life in two-week increments (any one who has been ttc for long knows what that's like) and wishing for a life that I don't have. It's time to be thankful for the blessings I have (which are too many too count) and not miss out on what I do have instead of spending all my time mourning what I don't. (Don't get me wrong - the loss of child is not something one just "gets over" but while I still grieve this loss, I need to acknowledge how good my life is and how much I have to live for).
OK. So here I am, starting again. I want to eat healthier and be healthier. I know I need to exercise more and lose weight. Someone tell me how this works. I'm in.

(((Joan))) -
I'm so sorry for the losses you've suffered.

Well, of course!

Welcome Joan. Sorry to hear about your losses and much sympathy for you. Grief is a personal thing; and everyone deals with it differently. I'm glad you are here and open to a new journey. There are lots of fun things to do along the way. Just jump in and post whenever and whenever you want.
