Happy New Years!!!!
Hello My Lovely's,
Sorry I have not posted in some time but many many things have been happening. My daughter is now a toddler- yup there I said it! I just cannot believe how my 5 pounds little baby is now almost 20 pounds, walking, talking and nearly running the halls. She is my true pride and joy in this world.
Today I turned the big 3-0! Yes I am officially out of the twenties, so far I don't feel any different. I have lost close to 25 pounds since having my daughter with many more pounds to go. I am still actively using Herbal Life and so far I have a lot more energy than I did before. Working out is still an every day struggle but I attempt to fit it in at least three days a week. My husband still works crazy hours which can hinder working out. I finished school in 2013 and I am now a social worker, I work mainly with the aged and disabled adults and I can honestly say I love what I am doing.
Recently, I went to the doctors and got a GREAT report on my blood pressure! NO MORE HYPERTENSION! I love hearing that- you have no idea! On the downside of things, anxiety is still a major issue in my life along with the emotional eating. I have been trying different things to help remove this problem from my life. In the last two weeks my PTSD was triggered and I am catching myself falling into old "bad habits". I have been praying daily, doing breathing workouts and trying to keep my mind right. I will say in these last two weeks, I have binged about 3-4 times and have caught myself right in the very act and stepped back. I cried because of it even- but my husband has been extremely supportive as he always is and reminded me to not lose sight of what is important and to remember to not be so hard on myself. I have realized that even though the abuse I endured seven years ago still remains in my memories, I AM NOT THAT GIRL ANYMORE. I can overcome whatever obstacles are thrown my way and I AM DETERMINED to not be overweight anymore!!!!
