Is it a bird? Is it a plane? no…It’s a new post!

I know…inexcusable.  No posts for a month.  Yikes!  I’m really sorry. :(   Life gets busy and going around the holidays for us and I just haven’t been online a whole lot.

 Jenny Craig is going so well!  I’ve lost 9 pounds and 8 1/2 inches in 5 weeks.  I am so excited!  Even my skinny pants are baggy. LOL  So far, I’m loving Jenny Craig.  The food is really good and it’s teaching me a lot about portion control, caloric intake, and exercise.  My breakfast this morning was:  Scrambled eggs with cheese, turkey ham, and potatoes. I also had diced apple and some cranberry/apple tea.  Yumm-o!  Lunch will be creamy potato soup with cheese, spinach salad with balsamic dressing and a slice of whole wheat toast.  Dinner is Barbeque chicken pizza and a vegetable serving.  Dessert is Triple Chocolate Cheesecake.  All of that food plus a fruit snack during the day is only 1200 calories.  (What I need to eat in order to lose weight).  Cool beans!

 In other news, we’re doing fine here.  We’re looking into a private school for our eldest beginning next year.  It is a great school and will really be able to meet his needs for high school.  We’ve applied and will find out in March if we get in.  He’s had a student tour, a student visit day and I’ve had 2 interviews plus a tour.  It is a fabulous place.  Please be in prayer with me that this will work out and he will be able to attend. 

Yesterday, our family went to a local state park.  It was gorgeous!  The leaves are in the last few stages of color, with a lot of leaves already on the ground.  We hiked, played at the playground, and had a rousing game of soccer.  Our family loves to be outdoors this time of year and it was so nice to reconnect with each other after the busyness of the week. 

 What types of things does your family do to reconnect?  I’d love to hear from you!
