Time Away...

So it's been a while since I've written.  I'm not sure why.  Maybe I've been busy although I can't really argue that given how much I've done otherwise.
Luke started school this past week.  I was really looking forward to having some quiet around the house but I really do miss him during the day.  Jonah's preschool open house was this morning so he got to play.  He's really comfortable there since it's the class he was in last year.  We haven't made much progress with Seth and potty training.  He's wearing underwear but he still has accidents.  This is a new thing for us since the older two never had accidents.  Poop is really gross to clean up, I must say.
I've had this vague pressure at the back of my head the past couple of weeks.  It's not a migraine per se but it's not comfortable either.  I've been taking Baclofen (muscle relaxer) to see if it can ward it off but it hasn't really done a sufficient job either.  I've tried botox before but I get a really, really bad headache the day after from the injections.  So I'm not really ready to try that again any time soon.  I've noticed that I tend to be a little "fogged out" when I have this pressure.  It takes more concentration to focus on anything.  I see my neurologist again on September 8th.
I have been surprisingly consistant in working out lately.  I did 4 days last week and have done the past 2 this week.  I'm shooting for 5 days this week.  I was really frustrated when I weighed on Monday though.  Instead of losing like I hoped I had actually gained.  How do I gain when I eat 1200 calories and work out?  It doesn't make sense to me unless I'm just gaining muscle.  Mark argued that I should follow "no pain, no gain" except that I have both.  :)  Here's to losing this week.
Please keep my sister in your prayers.  She is dealing with a lot with starting college and we've talked almost everyday.  She's looking for guidance and I try but I always end up redirecting her to God.  I sound like the stereo-typical Christian and I hate that feeling but the advice is what she needs right now.
