I'm back!!

Well, sort of.  Still struggling with aftermath of a concussion, but making progress.

This set-back is frustrating - not gonna lie!  I feel like a big old blob.  Sitting all day ... doing NOTHING.  Reading "hurts", thinking "hurts" ... there is nothing to do.

Two friends (with nothing but great intentions) gave me SO many sweet treats.  I felt rude passing on the goodies.  And of course ate way too much.  Now I feel crappy from concussion AND crappy from sweets.  It was such a nice gesture, but I'm almost angry.  I thought they knew I am trying to clean up my sweet "problem" ... I didn't need this struggle.  And they are both signed off sweets right now too. Ultimately my responsibility, my choice, my mess-up.  But still ... (I'm having a pity party to go with my cake.)

Treats (what were left!!) went with hubby to work today.  Whew ... relief.

Need to put on my big girl panties and get back to basics.

I'm thinking of trying a slow, easy walk on the treadmill.  Just to see how it feels.  I need to MOVE!! But I need to be careful.  Concussions are the real deal.

But I need a win today.  Some sort of goal, progress, accomplishment.

Don't get me wrong.  I am so grateful this wasn't more serious and I am so grateful for family and friends who have been amazing.  But the (pity) party is in full swing.

Nice thing about life is there is always a do-over, a start again, a try harder opportunity.  And if we are lucky enough to have another day THAT IS ENOUGH.

Stay tuned tomorrow ... I'll REALLY be back!!
