Well a lot has happened in the last few months.  We did end up having my grandma move in with us but my grandpa had to stay in rehab after his pacemaker was put in.  My grandma only stayed with us a short time before she started experiencing many more health problems.  She passed away on March 24.  Since then my grandpa has moved in and we had to all fly back for her to be buried in Iowa.  My grandfather is pretty handicapped and needs full time assistance.  I decided to not get another job and he basically pays me to take care of him.  This is all so new to me.  I've never been a caregiver before (other than my own 2 children).  It's a lot of hard work but definately rewarding.  I think I'm stable enough now to get back into the game of working out and dieting.  Luckily I only gained 5 lbs since I stopped the program.  I really expected it to be worse with the way I have been eating. My husband has just ordered the P90x workout program so I may try that with him.  If it doesn't work for me I'll go back to the Slim in 6.  Either way I'm feeling motivated again and that is what counts.
