When I decided to write this post I couldn't really come up with a title. Back....again, Returning...again, Time to blog...again. It seems like the last few months has been so chaotic so insane. Of course the first thing to get neglected is this blog...or my kids (jk) no it is the blog. I think about it often and even come up with ideas but can never find the time to write something of quality. I am sitting here waiting for my husband and son to finish having their man time so I can go to bed and collapse from a day in the sun at the pool so I decided to blog.
To bring you up to speed...
Most of you who read know I was battling feeling like poo a lot. I was convinced I had celiac only to have everything come back negative only to have serious adverse reactions every time I ate wheat. After a chance impromptu trip with my hubby to the beer store (he brews beer) where I had a horrible reaction to the wheat dust in the store I opted for food allergy testing. While I can say I feel the best I have in years I also can essentially eat only meat, vegetables(except a few), fruits (except a few) and dairy. In an hour and a half I had every grain you can imagine, coffee and my dt cokes taken away. I will delve deeper into my new lifestyle in a post I have been working on.
I have also been fighting over the decision to keep at my little side business or throw int he towel. I make children's clothing and honestly I am starting to think the hours of labor aren't really worth the rewards. I love to sew and nothing makes me happier than people liking my little fashions but trying to do this with a day job and kids, hubby and wanting me time is wreaking havoc on my stress levels. I have always been a do-er. I need to fill my time but I am starting to really think I want to fill my time with my kids and getting my life and home organized. Then maybe revisit this again and take it from hobby to profession.
But on the weight loss fitness side I can't complain. I did lose a lot of weight by not eating a thing for nearly a week out of fear (more on that post later) but most of it came back and I am back to the steady weight loss that is healthy. I find that don't eat nearly what I used to eat out of pure lack of need. Food has become more fulfilling and nourishing since my body is healing, more on that in my allergy post as well. I did want to share this.
These two photos are from this year and last year. What a difference a year makes (except my boobs, I can't loose them to save my life!) There is a 30 lb different in these photos. Still a long way to go but have come a long way as well...
That being said lots of ideas coming lots of motivation and some reviews. Stay tuned and thanks for hanging in there with me!!
