I know I've posted a few times of my up and coming 1/2 marathon on my anniversary. My husband finished school a few months ago and we had until December (until our saving ran out) for him to find a position. Unfortunately it's been like pulling teeth to get him out looking and well?? The money's gone.......

The 1/2 marathon in Disneyland has been a dream of mine forever and I've been so excited for it. But it seems like we may not get to go. We can't afford the flights and accommodation as things are right now.

Truth be told, I am so very resentful!!! Had he been out looking? Fine. Had he taken all my duties at home? Fine. But I have so much on my plate, my life is so caotic all the time, and I find it so unfair that I have been working my ass off to feed and care for my family, and now my dream gets taken away??? How is that fair???? Sorry to ramble, I'm just so sad : (

Fern ... you have so much good company -- my heart goes out to you.

I know what it's like to have a goal either snatched away or moved.

OK now. Deep breath. Rewind and reset. The goal was fantastic, but it's doable at a future date. Doesn't mean you won't get to do it. Just maybe not when originally planned.

Maybe it's time to reset lifestyles also and make some decisions to further pull back on anything you can. Sounds like family business meeting time to make a new budget.

So glad you're doing great on your other health goals. I see you're nine pounds past your weight goal and I'm just starting on my journey.

Hang in there!
