Seeing some results FINALLY!

Holy cow, sorry it has been so long. Life has been very busy with an almost 2 year old and summer being here. I took two weeks off from the Y so I could clean out all of my old stuff and sell it. Including a lot of my clothes.

I am hitting the Y hard this week. I walked/ran yesterday for 52 mintues and today for 42 minutes ( I only walked today though...I was sore from Monday's workout!) I then do about 100 crunches and pick up the Emma bean and go home for lunch which has been soup/crackers or a grilled cheese and fruit. I am learning to eat meals when I never did. They say you need to eat to loose weight. GO FIGURE! I have always starved myself and that works, but it always and I mean always comes back 10fold! As I said I am on a life change and it takes one day at a time to accomplish this monumental task! But I can say my butt is smaller as are my thighs, arms and forearms and even my very saggy tummy. In fact I have had to move my carseat forward...that is CRAZY! So my Tummy will be the last to change I am afraid. Emma really did a number on me (and so did I) Those muscles are very stretched out. I keep plugging away though.

I have splurged a bit in the past couple of weeks. An Ice Cream once and I made Choc. Chip Cookies today, but I froze half the dough, and gave away half the cookies that I did bake so we only have about 12 cookies left to eat ourselves, and they are small. Woot Woot. I am learning. I never fully wanted to give up the luxuries of yummy food, just needed to learn to not overindulge.

Okay, I am done for the most part for tonight. I am feeling great though (sore, but good- I am in need of new running shoes..maybe in a couple of weeks. We will see. I hate breaking them in!)
God Bless

I had the greatest conversation today!

Two ladies and their little kiddo's came into the Pinestead today and we started chatting. One of the ladies mentioned that her daughter was a miracle baby. After 15 years in her marriage her husband and her finally had their daughter. She has PCOS. The second lady also had PCOS and said both of her kids were not expected in her life. Wow! God is GREAT! I told them that although I was not a confirmed diagnosis, I know in my heart that is what I have and we discussed how impossible it feels to not lose weight, yet eat normally. The hair that grows where it should not. etc. It was a relief talking to them and realizing that I am not alone in this. Thank you again God for sending little messages like this that you are there and listening.
