I haven't been on in quite a while. First, I had a complete computer crash that lasted for about 6 weeks. It was torture not having any internet. Luckily, my brother the computer engineer was able to fix things, though I lost all my files (pics, everything). Then I had a death in the family which was very hard to deal with. And finally, last month I had breast reduction surgery which I am still recovering from. I know this sounds like a bunch of excuses, (I hate excuses) but all the while I've been improving my nutrition and working out nearly 5 times a week.
I have recently discovered so many new approaches to healthy living. It's hard for me to commit to one specific diet or plan but I do tend to follow a loose interpretation of weight watchers. I've also cut out sugars almost completely. I sometimes reward myself with a low cal dessert, but only if I've earned it.
The surgery has been a life changing experience. I only lost a little more than 2 lbs, but I'm down 3 cup sizes which means the world to me. The large chest has always been in my way, inhibiting me socially as well as physically. It's gone now and I feel like a new person. Exercise is so much easier and I can jog (only a little until I'm fully recovered) without those cliche black eyes, lol!
Anyhow, I'm really feeling great about myself. My new, healthier life style allows me so much more energy and as a result the pounds are coming off.

good luck to everyone on the Christmas challenge! i've joined & hopefully i'll drop 10 lbs by then.
i decided not to get the mirena... for various reasons but mostly because of the hundreds of complaints i've read about it. i also have some cervical issues that could get worse if i got it. so i guess i don't have to worry about weight gain caused from that. now i'm just curious how my new bc is going to affect me. i've just started taking YAZ which is already clearing up my minor acne issues. it's supposed to help with PMDD.. which usually causes stress induced binges for me. we'll see! in the mean time, i've been doing pretty good with my dieting. however i haven't squeezed in as much exercise this week as i'd like. but i plan on walking about 3 or 4 miles this evening.

slowly but surely i suppose. i'm basically just eating as healthy as possible. lots of lean protein & veggies and fruits. plus i'm drinking nothing but water, which has been a real challenge for me (giving up the sodas & sweet tea--such a southern staple). although, i have had an occasional alcoholic beverage from time to time, but sensibly. with two small kids, i'm finding it very difficult to exercise EVERY day, but i have been walking anywhere from 2 to 4 miles, 3 or 4 times a week. i'm feeling better and better about myself as the time passes. hopefully, the holiday season, which is fast approaching, won't wreck my progress. willpower!!
