To say that this week has been a whirlwind would be an understatement.
Jon and I decided to try this paleo diet. It's pretty much what I have always wanted to pay a personal trainer to do, someone to tell me what to eat and how to work out. Tomorrow will be day ten, and I've only got a handful of cheats to confess. (Tonight's being a big scoop of green Jell-O accompanied with lots of talk about Grandma and her Jell-O with the layers. I believe Superman said, "I love Grandma's Jell-O. I love Grandma's house. I love Blackie.")
I am down a few pounds, but when a friend asked if I was sleeping any better or feeling different, I responded with a big N-O. After she heard about my week, it was decided there were a plethora of other factors contributing to the sleep thing, though.
And this is just a side note for you: My dad was asking what we could eat and then summed it up by saying, "so it's pretty much just Atkins." For some reason this totally cracked me up. I can imagine a snobby-ish person paying 4 bucks a bar for the latest all-Paleo power snack, when really they could go home and eat bacon like the normal folks who have tried Atkins. For some reason, even the name Paleo strikes me as ultra stuck-up.
Jon has been out of town all week! He does have some travel with his job from time to time, but he has never been gone for six whole days for work before! Too long, and I demand they return him. Now! Oh wait... it's Friday and we are due to pick him up at the airport soon. Thank goodness.
Mimi also found out she has breast cancer, so if you could pray for her that would be much appreciated. It's stage zero and non-invasive, so after a super scary word like cancer, it's the best possible news. She had three or four different tests run yesterday so her doctor could develop a treatment plan for her, so I'm not sure yet what that will look like. I'll keep you posted and thanks in advance for praying for her.
And to cap it all off, the news about foster care! It's about to get real over here!
