Not as good

This last week was not quite so good. But tomorrow is Monday, and Monday is a great time to refocus and start fresh with good attainable goals. I liked the idea given by a friend to do some sort of sit-up or leg lift three times a week, so that is going to be my main goal this week. I also want to be eating well and drinking more water, but I will focus on leg lifts or arm exercises this week. I'm pretty sure sit-ups are out, since my stomach muscles have seperated and are no longer helpful for things such as getting up off the couch or out of bed, let alone sit-ups.

This Wednesday marks 36 weeks, and Friday is my next appointment! This is the home stretch!

Doing good all around...well, for the most part

Fall is a good season. Something about being back into schedule and Bible Studies and regular routine helps me to be more diligent all around. Housework is going well, eating and exercise are better, my spiritual life has been recharged.

I am still in nesting mode but slowing down a little bit. It has felt so good to have healthy joints. Ah, healthy joints. It is sometimes hard to remember the pain of the flares even though the last one was less than a month ago. I am sure I will quickly remember with my first good flare up after Elsie is born. I have heard that RA comes back like a storm after pregnancy. But I trust God with my health.

This last week I was able to exercise twice. It wasn't early in the morning, but it still felt great. I ate better, but not perfect. This pregnancy sugar craving is tough! (okay, maybe I can't blame it on pregnancy...I just love sweets). Water intake it getting better and better.

I have tons of goals for this week, but very few of them are about eating and exercise so I don't think I will list them right now. If anyone out there wants to share some of their personal eating/exercise goals, that would be great.

Have a good healthy week!

New Goals

My goals for this week are...
1. Wake up EARLY and go walking two times this week!
2. Place some verses around the house to remind me of God's power and strength. Battle sin with TRUTH!
3. Less sweets, more iron rich food.
4. MORE WATER!
