Update and Catch Up

Yet again, I've gotten behind. I'm going to try to do 2 posts tonight. This one is going to be a catch up post - and the next one will be a post about some things God has been teaching me.

So, what's been going on in my life?

- School is in full swing. It's going well. I have had the normal ups and downs of a semester - but overall, this year is better than last. I've had my scariest moment in teaching and my most exciting - in one week - with the same student. Got to love how that works!

- PCOS is still causing lots of problems. I'm working hard to fight against it in so many ways. I'm trying to be good and eat my meals every 3 hours, like I'm supposed to. My sugar drops and spikes in ridiculous ways. I am taking medicine twice a day - to help regulate my sugar - but it doesn't seem to help. Maybe it will take some time.

- My doctor is expecting me to lose 30 lbs by Christmas. I personally don't see how this is going to happen, though I'd love it if it did. I'm trying all I can - eating better, exercising and taking the meds. We'll see what results I get from my hard work. If I lose 15-20, I'll be happy, but I know I have to lose more, and this is not just a diet, but a true change in my life.

- Something exciting starts tomorrow...I get to take dance class again! My wonderful mother decided to give me a gift for my birthday of something i can't give for myself. She is paying for me to take dance this year. I will take a Monday night class that is a combination of ballet, jazz and modern for adults. I'm hoping to take a Thursday night adult tap class also - but that won't start for a little while now.

- Things with Jeff are going amazingly well. I love every minute I get to spend with him - which lately has been about once a week. That's been hard, but he and I are growing and learning to enjoy our time together, and yet, enjoy our times apart too.

- That's about all that's going on right now. It's getting late, so I don't know if I'll get my other post totally done, but I'll aim to have it done by Tuesday. I really want to post about what God has been teaching me - specifically about who He is in the light of all that's been going on in my life. Praying He shows himself to be the amazing, wonderful God He is in all of your lives this week!
