We are doing okay with this...as always, we are keeping busy. Kevin's work has gotten super crazy and he is in his final weeks of school. He will be done with classes in mid May, which we are all really looking forward to!!! He has done so well with all of his classes and has learned a lot that is helping him in his job. (His degree will be a BA in Organizational Leadership.)
I have been dieting and exercising and have thankfully lost 17 lbs in the last 6 weeks. It feels good to be making some progress in this area, where I always struggle. I hadn't been looking for a new diet to try, but while at Costco, came across a book, called "The Simple Diet." It really is simple! 3 meal replacement shakes (like Slimfast) 2 frozen entrees, (Lean Cuisine, etc) and then at least 5 fruits and veggies per day. There is a 2nd phase and then a long term phase that adds other foods back in. Exercise is always the key to losing weight and I just hate getting started. Once I am doing it, I can keep it up, so thankfully I've gotten back into it. I have been using our elliptical, doing some weights, Just Dance 2, and now, thanks to this crazy warm weather, run/walking outside. I'll be able to inline skate and bike now too!
Eli is as high energy and busy as ever. He played hockey this winter and totally loves it! We signed him up for a short spring league that goes until the beginning of April. He'll be playing baseball this spring and them some other camps (Lacrosse, basketball and tennis) this summer. He is definitely his father's child with his LOVE of all sports!!!!!!! He just can't get enough!
We're praying that we get a call soon about a baby. Please pray with us that our agency has more clients coming in for counseling about their pregnancies and that one of them chooses our family. Enjoy this beautiful weather and have a wonderful spring! Thanks for reading!
