A challenge!

This past week Ken has continued to his doctor visits, and just as he suspected, they turned to his weight as the next "reason" for his medical problems.  The doctor has put him (which in turn means US) on a 1200 calorie diet.  I think this is extrememly low, but she's the doctor, not me.  So I dug through my recipes and came up with as many good tasting recipes that were under 400 calories and we went grocery shopping!

The challenge is in a couple of things, for me the day we started the diet was the start of the one time of month I want to eat EVERYTHING in sight!!! For Ken, it is portion sizes, he starved all day, poor thing!

The other thing the doctor has asked Ken to do.... well, she probably "ordered" it hehe... was 1 hour of exercise a day.  This is going to be the BIGGEST challenge, not only for him, but for me.  Though I have been better at it than he has in the past, mine usually lasts 20-30 minutes a day a sketchy maybe twice a week.  I am very bad about making time for exercise.  But now, I am going to have to physically fight Ken to do it too!!  I'm not looking forward to that part of the challenge.  

I am creating a new blog under my list of blogs, it will be my "CHALLENGE" blog.  I will talk about the recipes I've made recently, how they turned out, and how the exercise challenge is going.  Check it out occassionally too!!

God is so amazing

My Father in Law (Pops) is off of the ventilator and doing great!  He is talking to anyone and everyone he can!   God has definitely shown his hand in this situation. 

There is still a lot of things I'm asking Him to help me with, but He is right on top of things.
