I'm super proud of myself because after today's walk, I have already hit 40 miles for the month. In other words, over the last 16 days, I have walked 40 miles on the track. That doesn't including walking in general. That's specifically from me driving to the park, starting my Galaxy Watch and stopping it when I'm done. For me personally, that's pretty fricking amazing and I've come a long way. I haven't made anymore progress on my weightloss since my last weigh-in but I'm still at 305 lbs +/- 1 lb.

Autism organizations use the month to raise funds for whatever they actually do, some people protest these organizations and others do whatever they feel is right. It's not perfect but the world's still spinning. This year I want to issue a challenge to you and the rest of the Autism community. I want to challenge you to focus on self-care.

Image Credit: Stock Vault Parenting is always going to be a challenge, but when your kids are so dependent on you for support, it can be difficult to take care of yourself as well. Part of this is inevitable if illogical, guilt you feel when you leave them with a sitter but it is also strange to think of yourself when you spend so much time thinking of others. All parents deserve some time to themselves and when you think about it, looking after your own health is the best way to ensure continued care for your kids. With this in mind, here are a few things that you should keep…
We all want to give our kids the best, why not start with giving them the best of ourselves.
