Hi Ginger! I appreciate your encouraging comment today! I am finding myself logging in less, it's true. I can't log in on my work computer, and I seem to be making up for all the commuting time now that the snow is gone. :-) It's all good, though - I'm spending more time with my church, family & friends and being more active physically.
I'm tracking some key indicators (water, veggies, fruit, steps, & exercise) and holding myself to making the best choice at least 80% of the time on a choice-by-choice basis. I've been getting my strength workouts in and plan to start my couch to 5k training this week. So I'm feeling OK about it all!
I am also spending quite a bit of time meditating and journaling this month as I do this retreat. It asks me to dig deep for the things I'd really rather not look at myself and share them with Christ and my spiritual director . . . a good challenge that I know will be fruitful.
It sounds like things are going well with you, too -- I'm glad.

Thank you for reading my blog, and acknowledging celebrating one year with SparkPeople...It seems like yesterday...except for the body changes, having my family here for support, and the new friends I have made on this journey!
JAKEANDNELLIE Hi, Ginger, Thanks for your comment on my blog about my "friend issue." I posted an "update blog" outlining what I said to her today and the decisions I have made. I can't abandon her at this point, but I can't let things continue as they have been. I'm taking mom to get her eyes checked tomorrow. I really think she may have a cataract and will need surgery. I keep assuring her that it's easy - I had it a few years ago. I've promised her I'll come over and do the eye drops three times a day if she does need the surgery. Luckily, she only lives about 10 minutes away. Jerry is having a ganglion cyst removed from his left wrist on Thursday morning. It has been causing him a lot of pain so he finally decided to deal with it! Thanks for your care and concern. Sheila 3974 days ago
My legs are feeling better this morning, the burning sensation has let up so maybe it won't take a week to get the med. out of my system. I am going to try to walk today, plus headed to Curves after bit. I am trying to get my differentials to total up to at least 1700 more would be better, that would amount to 1/2 pound.
