This is how it is
Today is an eye opener to how this new life style is going to feel. It feels GREAT! I woke up after a sort of restless night. P went to bed with a fever and then woke up three times wanting milk and that was fine, because she could have not wanted to eat and then i would have been concerned. I finally gave her ib profen and that let her sleep without waking til 7:30. Plus the fever seemed to go away. Sam slept well and maybe because daddy told him to sleep in for me he did sleep til 7. So these are good things, but what feels really great is how lifting weights has given me some energy that came out of nowhere. All i did were 4 sets of 12 reps of dumbell presses above my chest (while lying down), and two-arm rows while leaning (forward in a chair). I also did stretches after that were maybe controversial in my home. Sun Salutations is what they're called. I guess they are part of any normal yoga routine, but i'm doing them to the glory of God, and i think they are perfect. The book that i read is by Jorge Cruise and he suggests three stretches that are all contained within a sun saute and that just made me think of doing one of those insted. So now i ate breakfast and feel like going for the day with a new life in me. Like now sitting does'nt sound like fun. A walk would be really nice. I would Love a bike ride. So now P is awake again and i'll get her and we'll probably all go if shes feeling ok. I hope that this is a motivator for my friends and i also hope to keep reporting on my progress so i can see over time where i started from and be proud. On a side note. Eatting every 3 hours works beautifully and i feel like at every part of my day i am fueling my body and not doing what i'm used to. Which was normally eat so i have the pleasure of the taste and of feeling really full and so on. Anyways, i am excited and ready to go go go.

I'm really happy for you that you're doing so good on your diet, and that you're feeling so good it's a motivation.
I read this earlier today and was thinking of you as I headed out on a stroll with Geneva. And right then I saw your name in big bold letters by the dumpster on an empty box of "Devon" patio furniture! Then later on as I was starting to doze off while Geneva was playing I went and grabbed my dumb-bells, hoping to get some of that energy you mentioned.
I love hearing about this, Devon, and all the little things in your day, too, like Patience being a little sick and stuff. It feels like you're right there!
