Patting myself on the back.

Remember way back when, when I started doing TaeBo? I was doing so well and then we flew to New Orleans and my routine was all blown to heck. Since I was unable to do my work out I started paying closer attention to what I was eating and how much. Even though we ate fast food everyday while we were in the hotel I still lost 3lbs! Bringing the total to 13lbs!

This is a big deal for me! After a miscarriage I found out that I had a thyroid problem and polycystic ovarian syndrome (it's pretty common for these things to go hand in hand). For the most part I have been lucky. A lot of women who have PCOS gain lots of weight and can't get rid of it. My weight has been more of a self image problem than a medical issue. The other symptoms didn't help my self esteem much either.

The end of last year I had finally had enough and decided I was going to do something about it. Seeing the results of my efforts is really spurring me on but I'm hoping that by making this proclamation here it will help keep me on track. I'm hoping to lose 10 more pounds. That would put me back at what I weighed before my first child and I think it's attainable.

Thanks for taking the time to read that crap all the way to the end. You deserve a cookie!
