So I’m sure you’ve all heard the saying when life gives you lemons, make lemonade…well by now I would have several truck loads full of lemonade sitting around.
Five weeks after my back injury I am back at it with no ill affects. I haven’t jumped back into my workout routine yet, but I will soon. I want to try to get back on track with my weight loss. On the good side of things, I’ve dropped another pound and am now down to 216. Only 36 more pounds to go. For you math people out there, I’m half way to my goal from my starting point.
The economy sucks! Nuff said. Financial issues have been the name of the game in our household lately and needless to say that causes a lot of stress. Hopefully my improved eating habits and workout routine will help dampen the negative effects stress can give a person.
We’re making some difficult decisions about our future the next few weeks. I won’t go into detail here in this public arena, but for those of you that know us, you are well aware of what I’m talking about. The sad part is we know things are going to get worse before they start getting better….just try explaining that one to your kids!
On a final ‘HAPPY’ note, Chiristian was selected to play in a regional football tournament this fall. We’re very excited that he gets this opportunity to face teams from Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, and Nebraska. It should be a fun time for all.
Otherwise we are nearing transition mode again as football season winds down. This year it’ll be a bit different for us as Alex is going to take a swing at wrestling this year. The coaches think he’ll do good, so we’re hoping he will have fun with that. So it’s Basketball, Wrestling, Dance, and Gymnastics on our plate for activities through the winter. Hopefully that’ll keep the spirits up.
Take care and thanks for checking in.
