Just an update
Going to try to get to Zumba today at the Y at 5pm. Frustrated that I only lost 1/2 lb. I am so happy that today is the first day of Spring! My favorite time of the year. Today is also my anniversary, 18 years with hubby. We are just going to have a nice dinner later.
David starts his new group therapy tomorrow, every Monday 4-5pm. They actually pick him up from school and drive him home! Then on Thursdays, he has group therapy 4pm to 5:30pm and one of the parents has to go as well. The kids go in one room and the parents in another and it is a support group. Then there will also be counseling sessions at home and school. I have a lot more hope over this than I have had in a long time. The group is all boys, 14-17. Some foster, some adopted, most with anger issues and ADHD. some are being raised by grandparents. I am really really hoping that this is the answer to my prayers!
I finally finished my book yesterday, "The Passage" by Justin Cronin. This is one that I started last July just before my panic attacks got really bad. It is almost 800 pages long. It was a good book, but the downer is that I just realized it is the first book in a trilogy and it is going to be another 1 1/2 years before I get to see what happens next! Boo! I have struggled mentally to finish it. I haven't spent any time in the sunroom or really read since I quit smoking in July and had these panic attacks. I am going to start reading a Susan Wiggs romance novel today. Try to clean up around the house a little.
I do feel a little tired, a lot under motivated today.

Your doing good on the Walk Across America - I\'m about half way to what you have done - having walked a total of 176.8 miles so far but I did only start half way through January.
I hope everything works out with the therapy for David and that things start to settle down and he get\'s his anger under control. Has he been tested for ADHD and if so is he on medication for it ?
I know what it feels like feeling tired and under motivated - the other day I was like that and hardly did anything - Alexi didn\'t even get a walk but she wasn\'t worried as it was raining out and she doesn\'t like the rain ! - the next day I was a lot better and got out with her.
Congratulations on 18 years with hubby. It\'s mine and Jane\'s 4th Anniversary on the 30th March. Enjoy your meal tonight.
Happy Anniversary! I hope all goes well with David\'s new therapy. Is he looking forward to it?
I am waiting for the first book in the series The Knitting Club. Just got the audio book for The Girl That Kicked the Hornets Nest. I read the first 2 on the Kindle but did not want to pay $10 for the last of the three.
Happy Anniversary!! I hope all goes well with David\'s therapy and you all get some peace about everything.
Have a good week.
Meant to have said in my previous message 1/2 a lb is 1/2 a lb, don\'t be discouraged - you might have converted some fat to muscle which will only help you burn more calories in the long run..... at least you beat me - I stayed the same this week.
I do hope this works out for David. that will make life easier on everyone , especially him.. Keep me informed as to what happens with the therapy.
you are doing fabulous with the exercise keep it up.. hey I\'ll take .5lb of weight loss. I\'m gaining right now.
I hope you enjoyed your anniversary dinner. Happy Anniversary and many more. :)
Sorry I\'ve missed ya. I hope all is well. Glad David will be doing regular therapy, hope it all goes well and helps. You are doing great Yvette keeping it all together and getting your exercise in as well. You are one tough cookie :-). Glad you got to finish your book. Hope you can start using your sunroom and start reading and making that your relaxing place. Hope Paul is good and your kitchen is just about done. What other project do you have left? Thinking of you and wish you the best. Good job on 1/2 lb, no worries, right direction right... Hang in there. Hope work is good and not to crazy. Hope sweet Kona is doing great also.
Happy Anniversary!!!! Hope you had a nice date night!
