Hey Everyone!
Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of weeks. It has been crazy at moments and not so much at times. With my weigh in 2 weeks ago I gained a pound and this past Monday I lost that pound. I definitely lost some motivation but feel it coming back again. My birthday is coming up (Aug 23rd) and my new short term goal is to be under 300lbs by then. So that means I have to lose 5 lbs in these next 2 weeks. (I am currently 304lbs). Very doable if I step it up.
I have a couple obstacles these past two weeks and I am proud that I havent raided an ice cream shop or a convenient store. My husband just recently got laid off. We knew that his company was having lay offs but we really didn't think he would be one of them. Well...he was. So now we have this obstacle to get over. He still is really passionate about becoming a fire fighter and I hope that dream comes true for him, but for now he will need something in the meantime.
I also started seeing a fertility specialist to see why I keep miscarrying. I had 12 vials of blood taken out of me during my first appointment along with a full physical and and hour of going over my history. Last Friday I had an Hysterosalpingogram (HSG). It is a procedure in which dye is injected into my cervix to check for any abnormalities. Praise God that all came back normal for that. I go back Monday for follow up and get my blood test results back.
So all of this has messed with my emotions. I was worried during the HSG that they would find scarring. I was told there could be because of the sexual abuse from my early childhood. I am so happy to say there was none. I don't know what I would have done if I found out there was and that was the cause of the miscarriages. But I thank God that it wasn't.
Bobby also went away last Thursday on a camping trip and came back yesterday. I don't like when he is away that long. I missed him so much but am glad he is back!
So anyways, time to step it up!!
you can do this Steph! I will be joining you in Sept when I can focus on doing good for me again!
ReplyDeleteStress is the biggest issue when trying to loose weight. It cause physical and well as emotional issue. Try to relax or maybe even take up metatation. You are doing great and I know you can do this. You have a great support system with Bobby and your friends and your church. Keep up the good work.
