I hope everyone had a great weekend! Our little family took our first camping trip. We enjoyed our time. Hopefully this is the first of many.
I mentioned that I had a doctor’s appointment last week. I had blood work done and everything came back perfect! My blood pressure has also been perfect. Even my asthma symptoms have practically disappeared. I’m really not sure why—but it’s pretty great. My doctor even said this was one of the worst years for asthma. I think that something in the office where I worked triggered symptoms. It would be pretty great if this improvement continued.
The only concern my doctor had was my weight (of course). I told her that I’m working on it. But it’s so good to know that I am at least healthy. For the most part, I eat healthy foods—I just sometimes eat too much or have a few too many sweets.
I feel like if I could just lose 10 lbs. that maybe I would be more motivated. I have such a mountain in front of me. It’s daunting. I have so far to go.
At the moment, I have just been happy not to be gaining any more. But it’s time to see some losses. As I discussed yesterday, I am not able to nurse. I did see my weight increase after I couldn’t nurse anymore (baby started refusing). While I was nursing, I lost weight—which I have since gained back. Another reason I am sad breastfeeding did not work out for me…but I’m really not surprised. Anything that would make weight loss easier is never an option for me. lol When am I ever going to realize this?
Oh yeh—another thing… I talked about how I wasn’t sure if I was going to continue this blog or start a new one. I decided to continue this one—but with a slight addition. My blog is now “A Journey to Thin: The Baby Weight and Beyond Edition”, as you can see in my header. What do you think? I kind of love it. This way it makes me feel like I can open up about more than simply weight loss. It’s also just a continuation of my weight loss journey in my next phase of life... and more!
Although, yesterday I kind of poured my heart out about the topic and didn’t get any comments. So I’m not sure anyone wants to read about these mommy topics, but I guess it’s my blog! lol.
I want to do some redesign and I might try to do it myself—I just have very limited time to do so. So maybe that will come sometime in the future.
So I guess that’s pretty much what I have to share today! Have a good day!
