long overdue update ...

so. since i am updating blogs, here goes:

1. i weigh more than i ever have in my whole life. so much so that i am not writing it down until the number goes down. that's just the way it is for now ...

2. despite having some really great things going on in my life right now, i am still very stressed and a tad overwhelmed (oxymoron, no?) ...

3. i am dealing with this stress by sleeping and eating too much ...

4. this post is my first attempt to start dealing with it by writing and swimming ...

wish me luck, please!

also, i would love to hear your 'tricks' for getting out of a rut - please share!!
