It’s been a rough week or so. I’ve been down at the family farm babysitting the farm (owners are away at a conference). I’m alone here, and mega depressed. As most of you know, depression and anxiety are not new to me.
But I just read an update from a good friend of mine on Facebook. Michelle has lost 7.6lbs since the holidays. To me, that’s inspiration. She’s got a busy household with kids, runs a small business, has had other significant health issues – but still she gets to the gym, uses a trainer, and is getting healthier day-by-day.
It’s the little things like reading Michelle’s update that gives me a kick in the ass, just when I needed it. While I’ve been at the farm, I’ve been eating lots of fruits and veggies – but also a couple major stops at Wendys. Mmmm, the Baconator!
So with Michelle’s inspirational hard work, I’m right back at it. I’m fighting the depression as best I can, and I’ll be still eating as best as I can until my brother-in-law and family get back from their conference.
Thanks Michelle. And thanks to a long list of friends who are fighting along with me in the Facebook group Weight Loss and Exercise Friends of Rick. You folks are all inspirational in one way or another.

Glad someone was there to give you the nudge you needed. Sometimes a little push is all you need.

Its me again… Can I hijack your comments for a second? If not, just delete this.
My good friend was the victim of a violent crime and has no health insurance. Could you please spread the word for the cause? We’re trying to raise money to put a dent in his medical bills. You can see more about what happened and photos here on my blog: http://debslosingit.com/help-fix-jeremys-face/.
If you can’t repost the information, and you use Stumble Upon, could you at least thumbs up the post and share it with your friends? Thank you so much! I would really appreciate it!
