I certainly do apologize for the sparse postings the last 10 days or so, but as we've said, we're house hunting and that is both stressful and time consuming.

My goal for the next 11 days is to focus more on eating healthy and working out more. With all of the house stuff going on, it's been easier to snack a little more (even on healthy things) and to indulge in larger portions at dinner time. Regardless of what turns the house journey takes in the coming days, it's definitely time to focus more on health and kicking habits. I would like to throw in that it's been 36 days since I've had a coke or coffee. Working out has not been too huge of a priority due to coughing constantly the last couple of weeks, but it's time to stop falling back on that. Also, with all of the house stuff going on, it's been difficult to remember to juice, so some morning I'll wake up and have to throw some fruit and nuts in my bag and go without juice. I really need to be more dedicated to juicing which I don't intend on stopping just because Lent is over.

Lent is coming up quickly though, so what does that bring for me? I will indulge on Easter morning with a cup of coffee. That's for sure. I don't care if it's decaf. Just want coffee. That being said, Cokes are out. No more. Cacao to Coke. Do I still crave them? Absolutely. Is my addiction to them broken? I think so.

So I'm going to TRY my hardest to get back to blogging daily. That being said, I've got a busy next couple of weeks. I'm starting my new job on Monday, then it's Easter weekend at Ang's parents, then a wedding the following weekend, and depending on how things go, we may be closing on a house mid-May. THEN school starts. THEN we move. THEN the projects start.

Reflecting back on this whole Lent season, have we stayed on track? Definitely not. Have we been diligent in our bloggings? Not at all. Have we been successful? Absolutely. With me being down almost 13 pounds and Ang down over 15, I'd say it's been greatly successful. We have definitely changed the way we shop, the way we eat, and the way we view food. I've become less reliant on Coke, and find water more enjoyable than I ever have.

Onward. Things are only going to get better from here.
