Wow! Talk about falling off track! I can certainly sympathize with Marie and anyone else who is trying to stick to something new. Not easy! Things were going well until the Easter weekend (surprise, surprise), but it's really not the food part of it that is giving me trouble, it's finding time to get the exercise in. I went to the pool on Easter Monday and they hadn't scheduled any lifeguards for some reason, so the swim was cancelled. The rest of that week was too full for me to go back until Friday. I worked some irregular hours during the day, and didn't get any running in either. This week is turning out the same way! Not good. The eating and water aspects of this 40-day adventure are actually going quite well. So, as I have been encouraging Marie to do, I need to remind myself that one day (or week) off track does not mean the end of trying! Every day is a chance to start afresh!
The main news at home has to do with teeth. Elizabeth lost her
second tooth last week, and Rebekah got her first set of braces. These ones are just going to be on for three to six months, with the goal of getting her two middle top teeth over the bottom ones. She only has six brackets, but that's enough for some serious fun with colour! She chose pink and green to match her bedroom...
It's kind of hard to tell in this photo, but the walls are granny smith apple green, and the curtains and other accessories are hot pink. Now, so are her teeth! Her next set of braces will be a full set of train tracks, but that probably won't be going on for a few more years.
And in other news... our van driver's side window won't close. It went down yesterday and refuses to go back up. Off to the mechanic I go!
