YAY ME!!!

Tonight I walked for 20 minutes!!!

National Body Challenge

I just joined the 8 wk National Body Challenge. Now, I am registereing and finding out things I need to do. I am going to go through all my diabetes info tonight and my cookbooks to see what I can make. I am going to the grocery store tomorrow after I make a list. I am going to start journaling like crazy too! I am really excited and I finally feel like I am really ready to do this for me!!

Books, books, books!!

Books are so awesome! I had a great Christmas and got 3 B&N gift cards. One of which I have ALREADY spent at the after Christmas sale!!
Here's what I got:
Spellman Files
The Baby Trail: A Novel
Good Grief
Goodnight Nobody
Big Stone Gap
Three Plums in One: One for the Money, Two for the Dough, Three to Get Deadly

I can't wait!!!! I also got a journal from J and can't wait to write in it!!!!

2008..

I feel like God is really trying to help me. I feel like He is leading me in the direction that I really want my life to go. I can feel that 2008 is going to be a great year for my family. I just have this feeling and I am not really anxious about another year starting. Usually, I dwell on what i HAVE NOT accomplished but, now, for some reason, I feel so at peace. I feel like God is proving me with tools and knowledge and I feel like 2008 is going to be my year!!

To Do Lists....

I am going to start journaling again and spending time for me. I am going to start going to bed early and getting up early to have my time for myself. I think it will make me happier and healthier and not feel so .... desperate?? I don't know if that's the right word or not but, I am going to start taking care of myself and realizing that I am someone too. Not just mommy or the wife. I have decieded to do things to make me happy. I really loved walking this week with ben. He had fun on the playground and I had a great time walking the track. I don't want to lose that. I felt like I was doing something for myself and I was. Now, i am going to keep it up!!

My meds...

Diovan HCT
Tiazac
Synthroid
Potassium
Zoloft
Pravachol

That's alot for someone my age. I am really trying hard.
