Dropped the pity party, kicking my butt

YAY Elena!  That sounds fantastic!  I need to disband my own pity party - Paul is right - this is the kind of post that many of us need!  I need to start being active - I need to be like Nicole and throw away all of the crap that is starting to accumulate in my house again and replace it with protein - and I need to live my life with the new blessings I'm being given regularly rather than focusing only on what the scale tells me!
