Hey Beth - I'll definitely keep you posted. We can always email back & forth or PM. I'm not sure if everyone here wants to hear the yucky details.
I have another journal buddy that has had the procedure and was a great source of information for me. So I'll try to be that buddy for you.
But as far as not being around here.....
Yes, I'm crazy busy and stressed. Happens to me every year. As I sit at work during the day, I think about and write notes for all of the stuff I'm going to get done at night. But night comes and after I'm done with my normal "mom" duties - I'm spent. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the crappy eating and lack of exercise - but I'm drifting back into a bad mental state. I don't feel good about me anymore. This holiday season has forced me to function and keep going. Without it, I fear I'd really be down in the dumps.
I read journals a lot and visit you guys often, but just haven't really been posting much. Mostly because of my mood. I feel like I can't be motivating right now without feeling hypocritical.
I have a plan in place. After my procedure - I am getting back to ME. I am going to re-focus on me and re-claim my ME time. I am going to eat healthy (since that is what makes me feel my best inside) and I'm going back to running & walking (that's why they make jackets and gloves) because I need those mental breaks from life.
For now, though...I will probably stop posting in my journal. I'll still be "around" and will still be checking in with you guys. But I need to get myself back in order. I'm tired of posting "nothing new here", or "I'm gonna do it soon". I want to be back in the swing of things and then report back.
Thanks, guys. For being here for me. No need to worry. I will absolutely be back! (most likely I'll start a new journal thread)
Love you guys!! Have a wonderful holiday, whatever you all celebrate! And here's to a new year!
Nothing new to report. I'm going crazy getting ready for the holidays. Our painter is finally done painting the house (I'll take pics after this weekend when we get everything put back together). 
). Hopefully very soon things will kick in for me. I have my ablation scheduled for January 8th, so I'll be laid up for a little while after that, then it's back to running for me. 
).
but worth it if it can solve your TOM problems! I wish you the best in the New Year as you begin to refocus on yourself and your health goals. I know that when things were rough for me last year the last thing I wanted to do was post here in the journals about not being able to run..so I do understand that. 
. 
Hope you're doing well.
Yeah, I had totally missed that. Thanks for keeping me up to date!
