I have been diagnosed with insulin resistance and PCOS. This makes it difficult to lose weight, but I am
trying my best to get healthy again. Unfortunately, I am also gluten intolerant and have allergies to several
other foods - tomatoes and peppers. I hope that 2009 is FINALLY the year that I get healthy.
You can read my plans for healthier living in this post.
My eating plan will be from
The Insulin Resistance Diet book. It will include no added sugar and a focus on whole foods. I have a sugar addiction
so this will be tough at first! Other books that I will be following include
The 3-Hour Diet, the Superfoods books and
The 12 Best Foods Cookbook.
After straightening up the dining and reading areas, I'll tackle the living room. I wish it looked this good all of the time - LOL! That is my desk in the corner in front of the bookshelves ... see the open laptop?
Above is the living room ... i.e. where we watch TV. I'll be cleaning the coffee table and straightening up the video shelf next to the TV. I also sometimes need to straighten up the books in the shelves. The blanket on the back of the sofa is used to control the cat hair, too, so I'll be washing that weekly.
This is MY desk and where I blog! I try to keep it as clean as it is in this photo because I hate clutter around me. You can see my bill area on the left ... those need to be filed regularly. I keep my receipts for a year and then put them in a file to save for tax purposes.
In the corner opposite my desk are my knitting and crochet supplies. This area stays pretty clean!

I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, mom to two wonderful kids, a Christian and I work from home part-time for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine. Please join me here "at home with Kris."
6:00am - get kids up and get ready for the day 7:30am - kids to school 8-9am - errands/homekeeping 9-Noon - work Noon - Lunch/homekeeping 1-2:30pm - finish up work, if needed
The afternoons vary depending upon our evening schedules, but they are generally spent helping the kids with their homework, exercising several afternoons a week,
getting dinner ready, homekeeping, etc.
6pm - dinner & clean kitchen 7pm - final email check for work
The rest of the evening is spent straightening the house for the next day, finishing up homework with the kids, and relaxing by the TV or with a good book!
I need to make some time for my hobbies, but I'm really enjoying reading books right now!
Housekeeping :: Schedule::
I use the Motivated Moms Planner for my
daily schedule. My children have weekend chores which really helps me a LOT! I do laundry as it fills the sorter and straighten the house every morning
and evening.
:: Exercise Plan ::
My basic plan is 30 minutes of cardio daily and strength training 4 days weekly. I also hope to do yoga 1-2 times weekly.
... Our Garden ...
Below is a list of books that I will be using to plan our garden for this spring and also using
to preserve and can our harvest.
