Its been a while

Its been a while since my last post, so i thought i should quickly drop a line and update on a few things.
So much has been going on for me of late, For those who dont know, i got married 3 and a half months ago, and have had some huge fences to climb since then. I transfered from Swan Hill to Mildura for a number of work related reasons. My then fiance attempted to transfer from Swan Hill as well, but this was declined, so we had to spend the first half of our marriage living 250km from each other, not the easiest thing to do given that he is a policeman and i am a child protection worker. Both of us have enough stress as it is with work, not to mention the organisating making our relationship difficult. We complained to the union and a few things were done, however he was transfered closer but still having to live elsewhere. Again not easy, his new work hours didnt allow for any better relationship, and he was coming home at 3, 4 and 5 in the morning and then sleeping druing the day and returning to work before i got home. It got to breaking point and i fell appart one day at work (not ideal i know) and ended up at the doctors being diagnosed with anxeity and depression. It has taken some time for me to be comfortable with this position and am still a little unsure how i really feel about it. I have my good days and my bad days, the bad days are not so good at all, and most often spent in bed or on the couch feeling sorry for myself.
So as a result of this my fitness lifestyle has sort of gone down the tube a little. I am attempting to get it back on track, something that my doctor assures me will help and make me feel a lot better about myself, but sometimes it is just too hard.
I am 6 weeks through my 12 week program and feel that i have not achieved half of what i was wanting to, but there is not much i can do about it, and i need to look after my mental health as well as my physical health.
I had a pregnancy "scare" not really a scare as such but i think it was my body telling me to stop something, or maybe my stress levels were too high. But i didnt have a period for about 6 weeks, concerning to say the least, i done 2 pregnancy tests and they were both negative, but still no period, just as i was ready to go to the doctor for a please explain, my body must have flicked the switch, as i am now fine agian. Which is a blessing in disguise, as the dress my sister has picked for me to wear for her wedding in January would not allow for a baby belly, the bodice is like a corset type thing, very tight and fitted, just georgeous really.
Well i guess that is it, update done!!!
