How is everyone? I am well, thank you. I am continuing to exercise with my "personal" trainer, also known as my oldest son. He is one tenacious lad. He doesn't let me get away with any excuses.
I have been "retested" against my baseline starting point back in December. I have improved in all areas except in my abdominals. And all the measurements are tiny baby step improvements, but hey, they are progress. I do need to work on my aerobic conditioning, too. I noticed that I huffed up 2 flights of stairs at church this week. :(
Eating is still a focus. I have gone back to no snacks between meals. I am trying to cut down on sugar, but trying is not always doing. I am praying about a sugar fast.
I am still reading Made to Crave and Principle of the Path, slowly. I am taking notes. I am praying about what I learn. I am also thinking about buying Trim Healthy Mama. I wish the library had it so that I could see it first. It is not cheap.
I am very glad about spring, if you didn't know. I am excited to keep walking outside, ride bikes, and shoot baskets with my sons. Hiking at a park will be coming up as soon as tax season is over and my husband is free on weekends again.
Hope you all are having a healthy and happy start to spring!

Sounds like you are making great progress. I wanted to check Trim Healthy Mama out too before buying it, but our library doesn't have it either. :( I guess they don't sell to libraries.
ReplyDeleteOh, Jenn, I wish you well. You just keep right on keeping on!
ReplyDeleteYou can always ask your library to get Trim Healthy Mama; most libraries have a policy of getting books recommended by their patrons. I wrote about that a few months ago: http://anniekateshomeschoolreviews.com/2014/01/bless-your-community-and-your-homeschool-by-suggesting-library-books-to-purchase/
Getting your library to purchase worthwhile books is really a simple and effective way of blessing your community.
