Life's A Beach... Sometimes

So, I'm on vacation this week at the beach.  I'm not staying on the ocean, but that's okay.  Just getting away is good for the soul.  I've found on this autoimmune journey that I have to take time out for me.  I have learned to say no.  I have to accept that I probably will not ever be able to go like I did when I was 25 or even 30.  Some people may ask, "why do you have to accept that?"  To those people, I say, I don't want or need to go like that.  I was working 2 jobs, smoking a pack or pack and a half of cigarettes a day, and going out on the 1 or 2 nights a week I was not working.  I weighed over 300 pounds.  I now crave a night at home in my snuggie, with my hubby, and watching a movie while enjoying a glass of wine with some crab dip.  Living that old life helped drive me to some of the lows I had with my Hashimoto's disease.  It also helped create some anger issues that I had to seek therapy for when I was at my lowest point. 
I'm on vacation this week.  I've napped 3 or 4 times already and it's only Wednesday.
Peace.

Oops... I forgot

I had forgotten to post here lately.  Life has been going pretty good.  Hubby lost his job, but God has blessed us with another opportunity that we believe will be so much better than his old job.  We hope he starts next week.  We have started a few projects on our home that we have wanted to do for a while now.  We painted the outside of the house & have had a new heating and air unit installed.  Now, we are going to paint the inside of the house and eventually get new flooring throughout the house!!  I can't wait.  I'm so excited.
I started a new job in March.   I am so happy I switched jobs.  Driving over an hour to & from work everyday was getting old.  I love my 10 minute commute.  I enjoy my co-workers & feel really appreciated.
I had a little blip in my hormones in the last 6 weeks or so.  I think I'm back to being adjusted now, so hopefully I can pick up my weight loss journey again.  I'm hoping to start more exercise soon.
