New Found Energy

Well today is March 8th and I had another successful weigh in.  I'm down 1.4lbs since Friday...pretty good I might add considering it used to take me almost 1 month to lose just 4 lbs and now I can lose 1.4lbs in just a few days!! 

Not much to report.  I get measured on Wednesday again and I'm sure my hips/waist went down from the last time I got measured.  I now wear a size 14 pant and I was at size 18 just a few months ago.  That's impressive to me!  I've successfully lost 31 lbs as of today and I am so very proud. Being in the 180's again has motivated me even more as its been quite a long time since I've been in the 180's!!!  I never thought I'd get back down again as I was stuck in the 190's for so long!  It just proves how great this diet is...if I can lose weight on it - anyone can! 

I had to break down and buy a couple of extra clothes on the weekend. I still need more though - mainly jeans as I only have 2 pairs left and both fall off my hips now!  Its quite embarrassing to have to pull up my pants every 2 seconds! Belts don't help either so it looks like I will be going pant shopping tonight! 

On another note, I think I have beat my polycystic ovarian syndrome!  I cannot believe how awesome I feel! I don't get tired anymore and I can go out and do things, clean the house, and take care of my husband again!  My husband has pretty much taken over most things around the house since I got sick about 3 years ago and now that I have energy, I'm taking that role back from him! I cleaned my whole house on Friday, Sat and Sunday and did not even get tired when I was done. I used to only be able to do a little bit and then I'd have to have a lay down shortly afterwards!  My husband did say that its going to take some time to get used to my new found energy as he's used to doing nothing on the weekends (as all I used to do was lay in bed and watch movies since I had no energy).  Now, I have lists of things for both of us to do and errands to run, etc!!!  I think it helps too that I am starting to like myself better, especially the way I look.  I don't feel as self-conscious anymore and feel a little more confident in myself!  But I must say, feeling happy and energetic is something I haven't felt in a long time and I like it alot!!!! 

I am now weening myself off my last anti-depressant as I do not need them anymore.  I am down to 1 pill every 2 days (I used to take 2 pills every day).  It will feel amazing once I'm not taking prescription medication anymore!!!
