Wow! I didn't realize it had been 9 days since I've checked in over here on the porch. It's good to see Sharon back and that everyone pretty much seems to be doing well. Stacey, I'll keep praying for you nephew. The house looks really nice and with all that land around! WOW!
We've been doing well, just busy as usual. I did see my ob/gyn this week. He drew blood for a thyroid test but doesn't appear very concerned about the other items I questioned about. He may be waiting for those test results to come back before saying much though. He did say if I'm losing inches the pounds are sure to follow if I just keep up what I'm doing. This week I added some walking with another friend. We went to Southlake Mall on Thursday and Friday and we are supposed to meet at Stone Crest Mall on Tuesday. We walk for a good 30 minutes at a pretty good speed. I was really sweating Friday by the time we finished. I'm hoping the extra cardio work will help some.
Monday Natalie is out of school for MLK day so we are going to work out and then go to the Dekalb Farmer's Market. I've been hearing from a couple of friends that go about once a month that the meat is much better and the fruits and veggies last much longer when they buy them there. Oh, Natalie wasn't on crutches or anything. She is required by the college to wear dress shoes to the school while student teaching and she has weak ankles so is thinking she isn't getting good support in the dress shoes. Last semester she only had to wear them twice a week but this semester it's every day and that's the biggest difference. She will have to find a very sensible pair of shoes that look dressy OR take in a note from her doctor. Of course, this is a requirement from the college, not from the school where she is working. Which to me is rather dumb.
Well, it's time to go buy groceries. I'll try to check in more often. For some reason I overlooked my last e-mail and so hadn't received one in a week.
Hope ya'll stay warm and have a great weekend!!
