We're off to a pretty good start!

Well, I am happy to say that John and I are off to a pretty good start to our diets, or should I say efforts for a healthier lifestyle. We actually haven't had fast food all week. Well, I guess I can't technically say no "fast food" because we had broiled fish from Captain D's and salads from Wendys, but I can say no greasy hamburgers or french fries! That is a major accomplishment in itself for us! I feel great because I have gone to Miranda and Pam's for three nights and I have walked a total of 5 miles on the treadmill. I am just so happy right now so I had to share!
I guess I did treat myself today at the movie theater because I had a small popcorn and a very tiny Mt. Dew! (The first drop of pop I've had this week. I am actually over my caffeine-withdrawal, and my headaches are finally gone :) We went to see Charlotte's Web. Our third, fourth and fifth grades went, and we got there to Star Cinemas in Grove City, and it was great. They had everything ready, and we got situated, and the movie started. About 7 minutes later, the lights went out and we lost power because a transformer blew. Needless to say, we had to reschedule again for next Friday. Oh well, I guess the positive is that I get to treat myself to another small bag of popcorn! It just stinks for me because I was the "organizer" of the trip, and I hated that it had to happen. Luckily the other teachers were ok with it-no real complaints!
One last thing I'd like to mention is please keep Jenna in your prayers right now. She has a bad cough and is getting a cold. She doesn't act terrible, but she isn't herself, and you can tell in her eyes she doesn't feel well. Hopefully I can force her cough medicine down tonight, or maybe it will be one of those very rare nights when she will take it willingly like a "big girl." A mom can always hope!!!!
