2009 has been an emotional, troubling year for me. This time last year, I was recovering from a pretty invasive complete abdominal hysterectomy. But, I was SOOO healthy. I had lost 20 pounds before the surgery and was in really good shape. The hysterectomy was followed by recurring plantar fasciitis, a hip injury, and extreme stress at work that led to panic attacks.

First Post Ever!
Tonight is December 31st, 2009. Happy New Year! Happy New Decade!
By May of 2009, I had gained most of the weight back. Then through the summer, I slipped back into old eating habits. The hip and foot pain worsened despite trips to the podiatrist, neurologist, and physical therapy. I tried to work through it....but, it hurt..badly.
Now it is December and I have gained more than the 20 I originally lost. My body has changed because of the drastic hormone changes caused by the hysterectomy (plus Doritos, Twizzlers, laziness, and stress). Belly fat is new to me, but definitely a problem.
So, here I go again. I am excited to get back to it. 2010 is my year! I have a plan.........
