Today's Journal
Well, this month certainly has not gone to plan.
The Gina Livy Program started on Monday, January 8th with "prep week". The actual 12-Week Program began on Monday, January 15th. I barely got started on the plan and then became engrossed in the other programs that I had also signed up for. The Meal Planning course with Plan To Eat. The dog training course with The Trust Technique, and the seminar with Doggy Dan. And, the big one, the 30-Day Organizing Challenge with Clutterbug.
I have let the ball drop on both the Gina Livy program and on my exercise schedule. Finding out that Dennis's lung cancer may be back and may have begun to spread has terrified me. We are still waiting for an appointment for a scan to determine what is going on. Waiting is so difficult.
Below is the schedule I had drawn up for the new year. It's complicated, and I haven't been following it. :/
