Sun Room Progress








It's not much, but we've made a little more progress. Today was a miserable day for working outside. It was cold and rainy. It never even made it to 70! The end of August and we're all in sweatshirts and jeans. How insane is that????

Best Friends!

Cheer!









Saturday, it started. Fall is officially here - maybe not per Mother Nature, but by the Football Calendar it is!

Our first game was at home. Unfortunately our team lost. But - the girls did a great job.

Doc Visit

Went to the doctor today. It was an okay appointment. If my body is still doing crazy things in December, I'm to call him - and he'll start me on a new med. What upset me was the fact that he told me to quit thinking of myself as insulin resistant and just call myself Diabetic - and to treat myself as such. This will be hard for me - I still cannot give up sweets!

One positive - in the year since my last appointment, I'm down 3 pounds. That may not seem like a lot, but every little bit is a victory when I have a body that is fighting weight loss with a stubbornness I haven't encountered before.

The appointment was an hour in length. Seriously! Made me good to have a doctor sit there and talk with me, listening to my concerns and then discussing WITH ME our plan of action!
