That Was One Weird April

If at first you don't succeed?

The month of April was a bitch. 

2 ER visits.

Threw my back out. 

1 week bed rest.

Pain pills and muscle relaxants that can be soooo good one day, then the following week turn against you with a vengeance. 

A loving but stern no-nonsense conversation from one of my dearest BFF's (Brian) about how I needed to change my life around and do it quickly.

Personal setbacks. Medical setbacks. Professional dissapointments. Professional triumphs.

I gave up Cola. Drank gallons of water. Joined a gym. Started eating healthier.

Started feeling better.

These days, I crave water when I'm thirsty. I bring my lunch to work. Clementines are the BEST snack ever. I eat smaller but healthier meals more frequently. Eat less meat.  I go to sleep earlier. I look forward to the gym.

I changed. Change is good. At least this change is good.

So. That's what's new in Kathyland.

Man, I love me some Clementines!

Good riddance, April. As a friend would say, "We wish you well, we wish you far".

May is always better. Especially for the flowers.

Definitely a weird April! I am glad you are on the mend. I just started using a food/calorie tracking app today and clementines are very friendly in the calorie department. Hope to see you Wednesday! Haven't secured a ticket yet, will you be there?

HDW- and now I can't find the bag of Cuties anywhere. Which makes me sad :-(

Gruen - I hope so :-)

Denise - Do you mean you'll see me Thursday? :-) Don;t wait on the tickets part...they are selling briskly!
