Hi Again!

It's been a crazy few months, to say the least! 

In Febuary I was diagnosed with hypo-thyroid

In March found out I was deficient in Vitamin-D

In April I was diagnosed with PCOS

Now in May found out I'm low in progesterone hormone.

It's been one thing after another! I'm hoping and praying that's the end of everything that's wrong. Little tmi but I've been bleeding for about a month now so if the progesterone they put me on doesn't stop it within the next week I've got to go in and have more test done...ugh

Anyways with dealing with all of these I did hit my highest weight again. Which was not only fustrating that I saw that ugly number again, but that I was eating 1300-1500 calories a day and was still gaining like crazy. 

Thankfully with all the meds. I've been put on I'm starting to feel a bit better. The past two months I've been able to mostly maintain my weight with maybe a pound lost here or there.

A few weeks ago after doing some research on the thyroid and PCOS I decided to try and go gluten free. It's been difficult, and I have slipped a couple of times but I'm trying to get use to it! 

With going Gluten Free and the combination of meds. I have now been able to lose 21.2 pounds! Which makes me incredibly happy since I know with the thyroid and PCOS problems it can be very difficult to lose weight. 

I'm hoping to be able to get more exercise in, since its still been difficult for me to get some in. 

My first main goal is to get back into the overweight BMI which is in about 27 pounds. I'm hoping to be there by my sons first birthday in July but alot of it will depend on how my body reacts and me keeping up the dieting and more exercise.

I will hopefully be posting here alot more now that I'm getting back into the swing of things. Thanks for all those who actually still follow me!

Happy Holidays!!

I know I haven't posted in a long time, but wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
The past few months have been a bit difficult. I've struggled with having a very low blood count and in general blood issues since having my baby. I think we finally have it back to normal but I've gained weight being on certain pills. I'm hoping getting off those will help me lose the weight now.
It's also been a bit tough getting back into a set routine with a new baby in the house. It has seemed like everytime I went to exercise he would start acting up and then I'd forget about working out. I think we are finally to the point of having a set bedtime and now he can entertain himself a little more so I'll be able to get more workouts in!
I don't mean to make excuses for myself...I don't want to do that! But its time to move forward and after the holidays I'm going to be back at it. I'm not yet back to my biggest but alot closer then I ever wanted to be. But I know I can lose it I have before so I know I can do it again!!
I hope everyone's has a great Christmas and New Years!!

September Goals

Since I'm trying to get back into the swing of things I thought I should come up with some goals for the month. I'm starting the 30 Day Shred tomorrow!! Hoping I can stick with it and lose this month. We have family pictures scheduled for the last part of October, and I want to be as close to my weight last year as possible. But for now I will just set goals for this month.
·Workout at least 5 days a week!
·Stay under my calorie goal at least 5 days a week!
·Lose at least ten pounds!
·Start using my juicer!
I'm really excited to start using my juicer just need to start shopping for the ingredients to make yummy smoothies and juices. I really hope it will help me to lose the weight and get all the vitamins and minerals I need since I'm still trying to get all my levels back to normal since I've been low on most of them since having my baby.
I think that's it for now, wish me luck with the Shred:)
