Crazy Hormones

My body is still all out of whack. My monthly schedule is all messed up which in turn makes my emotions like a roller coaster ride (and not the fun kind). The doctor says that everything should level out now that I have passed the 6 month mark. I hope it goes back to normal soon. I am thinking I should probably make an appointment with my psychologist to make sure I am still on the right dose of my meds since my body has gone through all these changes.

Another side effect of the rapid weight loss is hair loss. Thank goodness I had thick hair to begin with because I have lost a ton of hair! I keep cutting it shorter and shorter because I can not stand the feel of thin hair. Nobody can tell that I have lost hair but I know and so I try and keep it styled so I don't get down about it being thinner. Again the doctor says I should start to get my hair back now.

It is hard to believe all this craziness is caused by a hormone change. On the plus side as of today I have lost 118 pounds! I only have 32 more pounds till I'm at my goal and then I get to start thinking about reconstruction, if I need any. Which right now I don't think I will need any but only time will tell.

What I would do for a 7Up!!!!

I am craving 7Up like crazy! This is not my first random craving, for awhile I wanted Cracker Jacks so bad I actually went and got some (not a good idea) I learned my lesson there, you would never imagine how many empty calories are in those things! Anyway I tried carbonated beverages once before and it was not good, it feels like fireworks going off in your stomach, but again lesson learned!

So as much as I want a 7Up I am trying my hardest to resist the urge, I hope my will power holds up!!!!

6 Month Check up.

I had my 6 month check up! Everything was great I am at my doctor's goal weight for me. I was so excited. I still have 50 pounds to loose to be at my personal goal but I on the right track, WOOHOO!

I participated in the Music City 1/2 marathon in April. That was a lot of fun, but I realized that marathons are not my thing. I enjoyed doing it once but I seriously doubt I will do it again. Since then I have been keeping up my hula hooping, it is the only exercise I have found that I truly enjoy.

Right now I am in a stall pattern with my weight loss. I try and not get discouraged because I know it is what is best for my body. The good thing about plateauing for awhile is it gives my skin a chance to keep up. I have been very lucky so far and I don't have much loose skin. I do a lot of "Off Body" hooping to keep my arms toned.


Now that it is summer it is so nice to be able to wear a bathing suit and not be self conscious. I have been doing many things that I didn't before, like boating! Also I went to Denver last week and I was so excited that the seat-belt on the airplane fit me! It buckled with no problem and I had extra slack in it. Before I use to struggle with getting them fastened and was so embarrassed when I had to ask for an extender. It's the little things that make a difference :-)




Here is the most recent picture of me, it is like night and day from where I started!!!
