Hi Everyone,
I used to be a part of the Battle of the Bulge board. But, then life took over and I just wasn't able to "stay on track" with my diet and posting. Things have settled a bit. So, I am going to start a new and return to my diet and fitness routine. Well, atleast that is my intention. I am in my 30's and a Mother of 3. My life has been consumed by helping my youngest son battle Cancer.(He is 2 yrs old) I am so proud to report that he is currently tumor free. AMEN!
I travel often for his medical care and testings. Time to time it is difficult for me to stay focused on eating healthy. But, I am going to do my best. Can someone please explain to me how the journal section works? Do we each just update it daily? or weekly? It looks like a good way to hold myself accountable.
My current weight is 144.5 my goal is 130.
Thanks,
Esther :)

Hi Laura,
Thank you for asking about my son. He has been tumor free since Christmas. Thank the Lord. He is watched very closely. I leave for Dallas on Tuesday for a full workup on him. Paul has 5 Doctor appointments. So, my Husband will be "SuperDad" that week for our other two children.
I am pretty stressed out and worried about the tests. But, I am doing my Best to be strong in my Faith. Little Paul has been through so much. Together we will get through next week. Sticking to my diet, is giving me something else to think about.

I really like this board. It is good for support.
Esther :)
