It Has Been Over A Year!

This year has been busy though. I quit my job and went back to school to futher my Nursing degree. All online with a 3 year old at home. It has be fun and stressful at the same time. Working out also has its ups and downs. I enjoy it but find reasons not to do it. Funny huh!
My thyroid has been good. Still taking 175mcg a day. I really struggle to stay hydrated. I feel like I have lost my thirst cue.
Wearing smaller clothes is a fantastic feeling. I am finally the weight I was before I got pregnant. Now my weight goal doesn't seem so unreachable. 35 more pounds! I am not looking to be skinny mini. I don't need to be a size 2. Realistically, a size 10 would be really nice!
I am sure that I am going to need some plastic surgery because my boobs are like pancakes, my tummy is all wrinkled and I have a lot of loose skin between my thighs. I guess the slow weight loss is a good thing in my circumstance.
I really need to plan my eating for the day...if I don't I find that I am not getting enough protein in.
Things that are surprising me: tingly feeling in the roof of my mouth and sometimes my band feels so tight that I am not hungry at all for days then bang I am super hungry but of course can't eat a whole lot. Thank God!
I have had to start on some acidophilus due to an abundance of yeast. It works really well .
Hopefully the next time I check in here I will have a futher weight loss. My short term goal is 10 pounds by Christmas. I will be sure to share the news as it happens.
I have found that reading other blogs helps me at times but it also makes me feel that I should be closer to my goal. I know comparing with others is not good but it is hard not to. So for now I will log on minimally and enjoy my journey as it is.
Thanks all for your support! It is wonderful to hear the " Wow, I had to take a second look to see if it was really you!" Cheers!
