Baby Steps are Still Progress

Well, my diet is still going and I am down 12 lbs in 3 weeks. My blood sugars are under better control (no more extreme highs or extreme lows-I was waking up in the 30's and some times lower than that. Very scary and very dangerous). The food isn't that bad - it's not the typical diet food. But I do crave a large pizza to myself every once in awhile bahaha. But I've averaged 4lbs/week the past 3 weeks and I am motivated to lose the additional weight. So....small steps, one at a time, are going to get me to my goal.
Ryder has started soccer and he seems to really enjoy it. I love watching him out on the field. Every time a coach asks "Who wants to go in?" Ryder says, "I do! I do!" Every time a coach asks "Who wants to kick the ball?", Ryder says "I do! I do!" He gets so excited when he gets to kick the ball and loves to tell others about it. He also loves to run after the ball. Now, his team is a group of 3 and 4 year olds, so its like herding cats on the field and they all just run and don't really care which direction they kick the ball so long as they kick it.

There was obviously a lot of running around in our small 32 minute game. I loved watching the kids smile, laugh and run! There were some tears but, all in all, it was a great time for everyone. Go Hornets!
