Updates. :) The diet plan has been going so-so. I have really good days, okay days, not so okay days, and the occasional bad day. Today was a bad day. I did work out, but only for 20 minutes and then we ate at Olive Garden. I ate until I was uncomfortably full. I haven't done that in weeks. I have lost a total of 10.5 pounds. Not too bad. But I really feel like giving up. Kinda sick of being hungry and I hate working out. I look forward to summer when my "workout" can be riding the bike or taking a long walk. So, I will keep at it.

Kids are doing well. Jasmin and I did a lesson from her reading book today. She will only tolerate it for so long. She is so down on herself. I think she gets that from me. She constantly says, "No, I can't do that." But mostly she can. Dylan is doing Awana Bible quizzing next weekend. God has given him such a great memory. I feel like I've been on his case a lot lately. Nothing major, but little things he needs to work on. But I hate to harp on stuff constantly.

I've been going through a rough emotional time the past few weeks. Highly emotional, easily brought to tears, full of rage at times. I briefly considered trying medication again. It had gotten that bad. But I think I'm back to my normal cranky self. :)
