Wow it has been awhile since I have posted. I have not stopped long enough to do it. Primarily because I knew it would make me stop and take a look at what I am doing.
What am I doing???? Well number one thing is that I am not staying on top of my sugar levels and what I am eating. I do not like feeling deprived and that is how I feel at times and I have been really stressed out so I have been eating for comfort. I am just one week and 2 classes away from finishing my Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction which I have been stressing out over. I am working on getting it all together. My weight has gone up and down within a few pounds. When I do myself talk ….(how many of you have these self talks?)............I tell myself I can do this I just need to find motivation well I need to just slap myself because I have all the motivation I need right in front of me. I also know that I saw my dad have diabetes, developed an ulcer on his foot that tunneled through to the side of his foot, then turn into gangrene and have to have his leg amputated right below the knee. Trust me when I say I don’t want this to happen to me so you would think I would not be messing around with this. My motivation is I want to be able to grow old with my soul mate, Ray. God has blessed me so much by placing him in my life. He is my best friend. Our plan is to sit on our front porch when we are 90 and drink Root Beer. We have 3 incredible grandchildren, I want to be around for a long time and see these beautiful children grow up and have their families. I want to see all of my children have the joy of having children and watching them grow. I have motivation I just need to clear all the sugar out of my eyes and see it. Waking up with numbers that were close to 250 several days made me realize that if I go in for my check up my doctor will probably put me on insulin….not something I want to have to do. I am asking myself when I want something ….”Is it worth it?” I can do this. I am reading the book Made to Crave it is awesome.
March has been awesome we got to see our grandson, Lathen, daughter and son(-in-law) Melanie and Andy. That was such an incredible fantastic surprise. Now for Spring Break we get to see our granddaughters Sara and Maddie as well as our son and daughter (-in-law) Matthew and Kayla. They will be staying for 4 days.
Exciting news to share is that we have opened the shop up on Saturdays now. Anyone having crafts that they want to put in there on consignment contact me. It is going to be fun and awesome!!
Now is time to get this Spring Break going!! It is going to be fun and exciting!!
Keep me in your prayers as I struggle with my weight!!
I CAN DO THIS!!
