Hi there :)

I just wanted to check-in and let everyone know how things are going this week. This is my first week back on SP since last August. I did incredibly well on my weight loss journey last year, and I hope to do the same this year.

Last year, I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder. I have to say that living with this disorder has been the toughest thing I've ever had to face. I have spent a lot of time trying to work through it. It's not always easy, but this week I have noticed that the extra exercise has done a wonderful job keeping those mood swings at bay.

I know now that exercise on top of the medication and therapies are necessary to maintain some sort of balance in my life.

This past week I have tracked all my calories, worked out regularly, cut down on drinking diet pop, added more water, and have managed to take better care of myself and the household.

Even if I gain this week (which I am hoping not), I know that I put the best of me towards this, and that I want to continue to feel this way for as long as I can.

Happy Sparking Everyone!! :)
