WOW 10 Years has past so fast!!

Everything is pretty much the same I have upped the cardio & started eating 5-6 small meals a day & the weight is slowly coming back off.  In the last 6 weeks I have lost 9.2 lbs. 

I only seem to get on here now when it is my anniv. so good luck to everyone in this journey.

Tried to update my photo since this one is about 8 years old but it wont let me do it. :{

It seems like the same post as last year still have weight to get off since the baby (who is now 28 month).  The left over weight is really getting me down so I started the 5 day pouch test on Monday & have done well sticking to it.  It's good to really "feel" hungry again & not just grab the nearest carb which is what I have been doing.  I am currently 164 & want to get back down to 145 so 19 lbs to go.  
   
 

It seems like the same post as last year still have weight to get off since the baby (who is not a baby anymore).  I had PPD & really struggled last year with it.  I finally am beggining to see a light at the end of the dark tunnel with some medication.  The left over weight is really getting me down & I feel like I just cannot get it off no matter how much/little I eat.  It is very frustrating but I would not change my life with Makenna for the little extra weight I have on my body for the world.  She is the light of Doug & my life she is such a wonderful little girl.  She is walking, talking & last night she was singing the Barney song (must have learned it at daycare) I luv you, you luv me it's pretty cute to hear it comming from a 16 month old.  Here's to another year.  xoxo ~ Cindi

Time Fly's it has been 6 years since I had surgery & I had a baby 5 months ago.  I'm currentyly at 160 so I still have about 15 lbs to lose from pregnancy gain.  Life is still the same with the challenge of losing & keeping it off.  Sleep depervation does make it hard to try to stick to eating what I should as I just seem to grab what I can & that is not always the best choice for losing weight.  Here's to another year of health & happiness. ~ Cindi

Superbowl Sunday & we are sick & staying home & baby is sleeping. I finally have some time to write.  On December 1st my due date I went to the Dr at noon & he asked if I wanted to have the baby that day & of course I said yes & he told me to be at the hospital by 4 & he would break my water.  We checked in and at about 7:30pm the Dr finally arrived to break my water & I had baby Makenna at 10:42pm 12/1/06 she was 7lbs 9oz & 19" long.  I had the best pregnancy & delivery anyone could ask for, I worked up to & on the day I had her.  I have a high pain tolerance & thought I MIGHT be able to go without drugs but I was begging for them ended up having an EPI, after he broke my water the contractions were on top of each other & very intense I couldn't hang but after I got it they were better but still not great & the nurse checked the machine & can you belive it the dr forgot to turn it on so I was only getting the initial drug not the "real" drug.  After the Dr came back in & turned the machine on it was so wonderful & zero pain.  Had a 2nd degree tear & was in pain from that for at least 3 weeks & we live in a tri-level condo with the bedroom upstairs can you say Ouch.  I can say that the pain after childbirth with the 2nd degree tear is much worse than any of the plastic surgery that I have had.  Makenna is sleeping through the night from about 9-6 & then goes back down for 3-4 hours.  I'm still off work until March & do not want to go back.  I have been working from home & trying to heal & take care of Makenna & it is really hard I don't know how any stay at home Mom's that work from home do it I commend you.  I hope everyone is doing well & Happy Healthy New Year (a little late) xoxo Cindi

Wow I leave for a few months & come back & it's all changed AGAIN.  I am now 9 months Pregnant & going to have a little girl (Makenna Nicole)  EDD 12/1/06 I have gained 27lbs but it all looks like baby & I am told that I look small for 9 month I will have to update with a picture.  My pregnancy could not have gone any better or been more of what I hoped for.  I have had zero problems no morning sickness, no food adversions, no cravings, just perfect.  We did have a scare at 7 weeks where I was bleeding & the Ultrasound showed I was bleeding from outside the placenta & there was nothing they could do I might miscarry but everthing has worked out just fine.  We also had an Ultrasound at 20 weeks where they found white spots in the Heart we had to have an echo cardiogram & they say everything is O.K. but we will know when she is born for sure.
