OK....so let me first start out by saying this is day 9. I am a busy working mom and wife....Saying that it is super hard trying to carve out time to get here, even though this is where sanity lies for me. So what has happened between day four and nine.
Well I have gone from 233 to 229 lbs. That is freaking awesome I know a lot of it has to be water. But maybe not all of it cause I have been working my tooshie off at the gym. I am now up to 45 min on the treadmill where i have been burning anywhere from 380 to 420 calories with an incline of 4 and a speed of 3.4.....hey you gotta start somewhere. I remember being fit enough to job with an incline on the treadmill such is not the case now honey LOL....
Food, I have been doing low car paleo...What does that mean. Well it means I have been limiting my fruit servings. I know I have to do this because well anything sweet I usually can find ways to go over board with. A typical day for me is a egg casserole minus thyme. I have found i hate thyme, then pecans and cherry tomato's for a snack, then a salad chauk full of vegetables for lunch, then more pecans, water for a snack then Final its time for the gym after work meal is my favorite, cut apple with almond butter. That soo helps with the sweet tooth thing. But I even watch that cause the almond butter has oil. Dinner is normally where I am a little more liberal like last night we fried eggplant in olive oil after coating it a lil with parmesan cheese....soooooo what don't judge me.....I had to have something that would take care of that pastaish taste bud I still have. It was my first time eating egg plant and it was delicious. You can have eggplant on paleo. The cheese probably not so much... But it helped me not go to Olive Garden and order the over 700+ calorie fettucinni alfredo. I entitled this post Oh the cravings, because I still like food. But like i said in post number one. I want a baby, and nothing taste as good as a new born baby will feel....
Which brings me to my life.... I haven't had my period yet, I am not overly concerned about it because like post one said we were having fertility issues which is why I originally decided to get on this diet in the first place. My period came twice the month of December, once in January and now it was supposed to be here on the 22nd of this month but no AF. I am assuming my body is trying to regulate itself, so I won't get worried till say March. At that point to the doctor I go and say hey Dr. Man....what in the world is going on with me AF and these ovaries of mine....For now I am just happy with working out being able to stick to this low carb paleo plan, and trying to banish the DEEP desire for stuff like pizza, olive garden, chuey's in to the back of my brain. Honestly though on this diet I do have more energy. I am rarely hungry and my skin is starting to look better. Before I was having tons of black head breakouts on my face, and boils constantly under my arm...Not as much now....Just observations.
I am also taking care of a lot of other things in my life, one I am finally signing up to get braces. I need them my gap in my front two teeth are spreading like for real. To the point my aunt commented on it in only her sweet non judgmental way. "kiki,,,,baby is that gap getting a lil wider"....Uhh huhh was all I could think to say LOL... but she said it like it was a question, not a freaking fact which it is.
In addition to the braces I also had a hearing test and I have to get a hearing aid....due to all the ear infections I had as a kid, which brings me now to Layna bug. She is getting lots of ear infections too. On Friday she will get tubes. I have been praying praying for over a month that she is alright in the surgery praying over the dr's and nurse and anesthesiologist who will be in there. Lord being a parent is so real. its so real and I just thank God for my baby coming out of that quick fast and unscathed. I pray for parents of children who really are sick. Bless those parents lord who have to make decisions all the time.
Life, or rather my life is so full and rich and stressfull and complex and restrained in ways. I wonder if any other wife/mom/single gals feel the same.
Till next time.
