So I logged on to my other blog and realized I hadn't updated this in 3 year!!! Well, since my last post I came of the bc, believing I had no need for it anyway since I had (have) PCOS, no cycle for 3 years and other various issues. Turns out God was just waiting for the right moment because within a month I was pregnant. Yup, found out right before that Vegas trip. We now have a healthy and beautiful 3rd child - David - who keeps me running til I'm ragged, not to mention the attention-starved middle child and a teenage daughter who refuses to drive but wants to be involved in social events all over the place. I should be dropping pounds like bad habits, right?
After going through that 3rd pregnancy, I was starting to believe I was always going to be a nearly-200lb blob. I started the year at 195 and yet another resolution to lose weight. It wasn't until April that I finally got serious. I did a fantastic detox program from Metegenics and actually followed the directions. By May I was down to 180!!! It's nice to see lower numbers on the scale and have my clothes fit better. Sadly, my follow-through is lacking at best, so I have not lost any more in the past 3 months. I have about a 3 pound range that I bounce around in, despite eating stuff I know I shouldn't and being housebound due to hot weather and health issues like FMS that gets worse in the heat. Still, at least I know I can do it. I may be ready to take on the detox again in October, and maybe I will have similar results. It can only make me feel better, right?
