And the weight loss comes to a halt....again

Sigh.....Reading that last post made me sad. I was so happy about my progress. Now....not so much.

I don't understand my body. It's been over 15 years since I can lose more than 10 pounds without a 6 month plateau. I wish that I can just keep losing until I reach a point where there's an actual change in my body. When I look at some of the pictures on the site I think that I look a little different, but not enough to make me want to post some current pics of myself. I really want to be under 200 by spring break. Only 5 more pounds to go!!

Work has become very stressful. I never would of thought that my job in education would be on the line. I always believed that it was a safe job. But of course when there's a budget crisis, education is the first to be cut. (Especially in AZ, thanks to our legislation we are now dead last in the nation for education spending). So anyway I'm a little freaked out.

Addison is doing great. She is a very happy 9 month old. She is already holding onto things and walking, pretty scary. I went and bought her her first pair of stride rites. Those are really expensive but sooooo good. Aiden was in them until he was 2. Addie is probably going to be the same way. I'll have to post some pics. It just seems to take forever on the website.

I'll try to start posting everyday......even if it's a little post.....I promise.

RSV Sucks!!

So Addison is sick again with the "RSV". The Dr. forgot to tell me that it could come back because that's what that virus does. Of course this week sucked. Long night with a cranky baby, and tired work days. I can't take anymore sick leave because when she had it last time I used all my days to stay home. Thankfully my mother-in-law was able to take care of her all week, I didn't want to bother my mom and ask her to move in with us again for a week or two.

As far as my weight loss goes, it's amazing. It amazes me that my body is actually doing what it should be doing. Ever since my Dr. put me on metformin I've been losing at a steady pace. I have been also going to the gym 4 times a week, but I haven't completely been doing well on the nutrition part. I'm only 5 pounds away from being out of the dreaded 200s! Can you believe it? I'm hoping to get there by the end of the month. When I do I'm going to award myself with a massage! I'm hoping to be down in the 170s by summer. I really want to wear shorts and go swimming with my children. We don't have a pool, so the swimming part has to be in public, and no one wants to see a whale. I figured if I get to 170 and still look like a whale, then I'll probably just be so dang happy with myself for getting there I won't notice.

I think my body has changed a lot since I've lost weight. When I get below the 200s I'll take some after pics.
