Surprises

In my last post I mentioned we were not try to get pregnant and that was the truth. God had other plans though. We had a successful garage sale last March. We got rid of all our baby items such as cribs, play yard/bassinet, car seat, and much more. In April I had a normal month other than feeling very tired on the last 3 days of the month. Two of those days I helped at the HPC, ARC conference. I remember talking to a new friend about the past 3 miscarriages and how we were officially done trying. On day 25 of my cycle, I remember driving Ryan to the airport and feeling very nauseous especially while I was smelling the McDonald steak breakfast Ryan was eating...yuck! Right there the "ah ha" feeling came upon me but I kept it to myself. The next morning nothing happened so on my way I went to do a UPT test in yet another walmart bathroom. Who can wait to go home anyways! I didn't tell Ryan as he was on his way to his father's funeral. Well, the test was positive! Wow.. how God works..thank you Jesus. More story to come... we were blessed with a sweet baby boy Dec. 27, 2010.

My Journey to a heathier ME!

As of now, we are NOT trying to get pregnant. I have decided to take charge of my weight loss battle and take care of ME for once. I have been in a fog since my first miscarriage and wanting so much to have another one that I let myself go. I didn't take good care of me.. didn't exercise much and put on weight during the holidays. I decided on Jan. 15, 2010 to join Nutrisystem. I using their method of portion control and glycemic index control. I followed their online plan and listed the foods and lost my first 2.2 lbs. before the meals arrived. I started the NS meals on Jan.27th, exactly 28 days from today(Feb. 23rd). I am down a total of 12.6lbs and am loving the new me!

What changes have I made one my ask? I am eating 5 to 6 vegetables a day plus 3 servings of fruit! I have never eating that many and found it hard just eating 4 servings total before. I now eat the vegetables before the meal and am feeling so satisfied through out the day. I still have days that I crave certain foods or just feel hungrier. On those days I drink a flavorfull drink mix with fiber that tastes just like lemonaide and/or tea. I didn't like them at first but noticed I had to pour hot water to dissolve the crystals. I also will eat another vegetable, drink tea, or exercise to get over any cravings and that seems to work. I am also more conscious of what foods my family eats and needs. I am making different vegetable dishes and keeping them interesting.

Where am I feeling a difference in my weight? After the first 10lbs I began feeling lighter in my breasts, waist, face, hips, and fingers. My daughter is noticing a change and will tell me so. My husband is seeing a change and will share that with me also. As the weight comes off I am looking forward to wearing some of my clothes I stopped wearing before this last pregnancy.

Since I bought the Wii and Wii fit plus I have incorporated exercise and more strength training into my work out. It is fun and I look forward to exercising instead of pushing myself! I have a long journey to go but am excited and motived once again! I hope to post more on my journey every couple weeks. Have a Blessed month of March!
