Well, I would like to say that I've been really busy and haven't had time to blog, however the truth is that I just wasn't motivated enough! I just went through a time when I couldn't decide whether I wanted to keep my blog or just let it go. This blog was started when a lot of my family was out of state. I enjoyed sharing our pictures and activities with family and friends. I also liked to post some recipes that my husband and kids really liked. Some of my family has moved back into the area, but I guess that having a blog just gives me an out to write down some of my thoughts. So, I guess I will continue on with my blog. If your interested in reading about an average everyday person and my family, then feel free to follow me and as always, all comments are welcome.
I have just begun a new journey in my life....Diabetes.
No one, ever, ever, ever wants to hear their Dr. say that word. During a recent 4 day stay at OSF, I was informed that diabetes is very prominent in my life. My first instinct was denial......then I decided to get on board and control my diabetes before the diabetes controls me!! So, that was 4 weeks and 3 days ago. I have changed my lifestyle, started exercising, have been eating a low-carb diet and feeling pretty good! Today, I walked 1.8 miles and I actually enjoyed it! As of today, I'm down 17 lbs from when I was weighed in the hospital!!!
So here I am......
I know with support from my friends, family, and Jesus Christ.....I will be fine!
