Ten Years Old!

I can't believe it's been ten years since these two cuties were born. It's been exhausting but fun seeing how they have grown and changed over the years. The girls are smart and very different. Both have dyslexia but it presents in very different ways. They have challenges because of dyslexia but they also love how it makes they different. The work hard to not let it get in their way. They see the world in a completely different way and it is wonderful. I'm very proud of who these girls have become and the strength and courage they have.

Healthy

Back in August 2017, Wes and I started trying a healthy lifestyle. Through Wes' health insurance we were able to start a weight loss program. It's a really good program. The problem was, you had to have will power and motivation to do it. We sort of started in August. We did the bare minimum and didn't work very hard to lose.

Then in January, we committed to each other that we would hold each other accountable. To be an example for our kids, we decided that we really needed to be healthy. We started eating less and exercising more. Both of us noticed that our energy level has improved and we feel better. Wes has even stopped snoring. I've lost 20 pounds so far and Wes has lost 40.

We still have a ways to go until we are finished. But, I'm hopeful we have the skills and habits to stay healthy.
