It has been a little rough, but even through the storm we must remember that we are still blessed and God has a plan for our lives.  So, although it has been a pretty painful month…I can honestly say there were still great moments and I am grateful for all of them.

I will take this time to say that each and every one of you reading this post should get your phone out and schedule your physical for the year.  I have not always done that, but since I am all about living our truth…I decided enough was enough that I needed to get a new doctor (didn’t really care for my last one and used that as an excuse) and get a physical.  I took the shingle and wisdom tooth/teeth episode as a sign that I should take much better care of myself…so needless to say I spent the remainder of last month and beginning of this month going to doctor appointments.  I can honestly say everything is fine and my doctor and I have a plan of action in place for the next six months, so I guess that means it's time to get back on track with my weight loss journey!

Despite all the happenings last month, I was able to begin working on the highly requested new decluttering challenge and I hope you are just as excited as we are!
