What have you been up to??

That is probably what some of you are asking about me.  I have been so busy overall being a mom!  It is the best job in the world.  All three of my kids are playing ball this summer and so even though we are very busy it is a great thing.  My day consists of work, pool and the ball park.  Somehow I have to fit some housework and sleep in there too. 

I apologize that it has been a while since I posted but overall the update is the same.  I have officially plateaued.  Most people would consider this a bad thing but for the first time in my life I am thrilled that the scale is staying put and sometimes going down slowly.  I have found the last few weeks to be so interesting since I know what the scale says but boy have I been getting a lot of great attention lately.  So many people have commented on how well I look lately a can tell I am really losing alot of weight.  I have truly only lost 5 pounds in the last 2 months according to Christie clinic scales.  Since I have seemed to plateau I have decided it is time to make an appointment with Dr Rohrscheibe so next Thursday I am going in for a possible tune up.  I may get a fill or I may just get a little bit of motivation and nutrition counseling.  I had a few weeks it seemed like I couldn't eat meat but the last week has been better. 

The best thing that I can say about the last few weeks/months is I am truly amazed but how great I feel and how much energy and confidence I have.  I am starting to feel like a lovely lady possibly for the first time in my life.  I seemed to loose alot of confidence over the past few years but lately I want to dress like a lady, wear nice jewelry, and look like a hot mama!  LOL  I went swimsuit shopping the other day and it was actually fun! 

Well to say that I am on the top of the world personally is an understatement.  Physically and mentally I feel wonderful and I am truly proud of myself.  I have learned so much about myself, nutrition, and especially determination.  I feel like I am truly being successful after this life change and it feels like it is making other areas of my life that much better. 

I thought I would close with some recent pictures.  I hope that I am able to inspire you to do something for yourself today.  To be the best mom, wife, employee ect you have to take care of YOU!!!  Have a wonderful day and weekend!

This was June 2010  Yikes!!!

This was June 2011  I personally think I look a little big here but several think I look wonderful.  I guess we always find ourselves to look less flattering than we are.

This is my new swimsuit.  I would have NEVER posted a picture like this 93 pounds ago.
