Thank you all so much for your comments. And Blithe, yes, I truly agree with you! This country's health system is so screwed up, and there are so very many uninsured people. The candidate that comes up with a system that will cover everyone, regardless of pre-existing conditions, will get my vote.
We are really concentrating on building our business. It's something we want very badly and it's something we love doing. I've spent hours today working on e-mails and my blog. I'm working on getting as much mileage as I can from the internet. My husband feels relieved, actually, and much less stressed. I'm excited that we have more time to dedicate to our future.
One thing we will do is spend waaaay less money on eating out and take-out. We both love to cook, it's ridiculous to not indulge. My husband is the bomb when it comes to using coupons and taking advantage of in-store grocery savings. He really makes it fun to see how much money we can save. Thank God for small favors.
He's got a whole work schedule blocked out for us so we use our time in the most optimal manner. If we don't reach our goals it won't be for lack of trying!
Meanwhile, I'm holding tight to No S! I'm feeling less hungry in the evenings and I just love eating this way. I have more energy, and I'm starting to get more exercise just through doing things around the house. I enjoy being active and sooner or later the fat has got to melt.
Thank you again, everyone! You make my heart glad.
Hugs to you all,
Diane
