Katelight's journal

So today is Sept 11. Such an important day in our lives. It's so important to remember the pain of this day and yet to use that as motivation to keep on going and focusing on peace. Our flag is flying with pride today in honor of all who have lost their lives and to those who fight to protect.


I started my new job yesterday. I think it will be good. Honestly it's not what I really want to be doing, but they are a great group of women and will be enjoyable to work with. Dh's last day will be Sept 28th. a plant closing is so sad.
Today I'm home. I'll be making my grocery list and doing the shopping later on, and I'm getting caught up on laundry and some sewing. I always feel that fall is the time to catch up. I guess it's the remains of the first day of school syndrom. Time to get back to good routines.
Thanks to the very few of you that kept this site going over the summer. I really appreciate all of you.
I'll check in as often as possible
Blessings
Katie

I've decided that it's time to quit being negative and focus on the positive. I feel positive about my new job, our future, and my re-newed focus on Core. Life is good and I'm glad to have found that again.
I made my grocery list for the week according to Core foods, and have made alternate menu's for myself on days that I'm cooking dh's favorites. I really don't mind making separate meals sometimes, it all depends on how many dirty dishes that will make lol
My paper tracker is my new best friend this week.
Have a great week

Had a pretty good week. down .8 and feel more in control.
I'll be making this week's grocery list soon and will do the shopping.
Once a month at work we have food day. I'll be taking apples and lo-cal dip. My focus is to simply say "no thank you" at work. fortunately the girls I work with respect that. They are a great bunch of women

I've gotten my exercise ball back out and am making sure I use it while watching t.v. at night. Nothing sophisticated, just bouncing, but I sure can feel the areas I'm using.
I did a little cooking ahead yesterday. Made a mexican pasta and black bean burgers. Great to grab for lunches.
Looking forward to our camping trip this weekend. We need to get away and relax for a couple of days.
HIHO
