Loving Home

Last night I arrived home from a wonderful ladies retreat. There were 28 of us which included at least 10 guests of our members. We studied ACTS = Adoration, confession, thanksgiving and supplication. It was wonderful and I gained alot of insight from our speaker - Tina. We were at Hy-Lake Camp in Tennessee and it was absolutely beautiful. The cabin was nice and clean and the kitchen facilities were amazing. Here are some pics from it.

I went to the doctor today for my three month diabetic checkup. Well my A1C is 9.3 way not good. My blood pressure is elevated and I had gained 10 pounds. So on to this months goals. 1. Remove junk food from house. 2. Lose at least 5 pounds (a must) 3. Do at least 30 mins of movement a day (either walking, Wii or swim class) 4. Check my glucose at least three times a day. Record it for doctor. 5. Read up on Byetta and let the doctor know what I think. 6. Finish FAFSA this month for Rachel.

It is the 2nd of March and it is time to see how I did last month. 1. Lose 5 lbs. = I only lost 1.5 pounds. 2. Cull through my clothes = I did a little bit more of this but still not done. 3. Get my taxes done as well as Ian's and Rachel's = they are all done but I need to fix Ian's and send it back out. 4. Pay down bills = Success !!!!!!!!!!!! I paid off two more bills for a monthly savings of $326.56. For the year so far: $439.56 5. Start Christmas gifts for 2011 = well I did some planning but did not finish the afghans. 6. Finish organizing coupons = I did get this done. 7. Stay in food budget = once again I was a little over.
