February Recap (or, "Better Late Than Never")


Well, February was supposed to be the month that I focused on my health and weight. I can tell you that is one big fat FAIL. 28 days of not working out. 28 days of not looking at all at what I’m eating. The good thing? I maintained weight. I didn’t gain, but I didn’t lose. In fact, I feel like I was sick most of the month. I wrapped up the month on an uber antibiotic AND steroids to kick a nasty sinus infection. Yikes. 

So, I need to rethink my plan. I have been perusing Gina’s Skinny Recipes to overhaul my cooking. I think this has to be step one. My (not biological) dad recent was diagnosed with diabetes. He is a healthy guy. What is down the road for me, who isn’t all that healthy? I’d rather not find out. 
As for exercise, I plan on buying a treadmill for our new house (next post!!) and setting it up in the basement in front of the tv. I will utilize series’ on Netflix and walk my butt (and tummy and arms and...) off. Then I’ll keep on keepin’ on with the Wii games. I look forward to having a basement for these actives!! 

So, I have a minor plan, and may dedicate April to heath. If at first, you don’t succeed...
As for March... My plan was “God!”. Its going pretty well. Our church provides 5-minute prayer booklets for Lent (and Advent) that The Hubs and I read together at night. We are also reading “Couples Who Pray Together” together. I am not strong at verbal prayer, so this is a good exercise. 
I feel I’ve put a lot of effort into my relationship with God as of late. I’ve had a lot of things in my life for which I needed to pray. God and I have had a LOT of talks. I’m fond of this and look forward to growing this relationship. I’m also taking the time to question things in my faith and belief and learn more about my religion. 

See you in April! 

Speaking of April, my HS BFF April just had a baby. Congrats April & Jerry and welcome Elliott! We can’t wait to meet you :)
