68 days into mommy makeover transformation...

I am 68 days into my mommy makeover transformation. I have currently lost two inches off of my hips and three inches off of my waist. I went to my final consultation appointment the 17th of August. I am so glad I did, even though I am not the weight I want to be at. Dr. Poutsi made me feel amazing and gave me tons of courage to get to my goal weight. I set my surgery date for December 3rd. I am so excited. Since last Monday I have been super charged. I have been eating so healthy and going to the gym every day. I feel on top of the world. I have not had caffeine in three weeks and alcohol in two weeks. I have been doing everything I can to balance my hormones. It seems like it is working. I am going to weigh myself tomorrow for the first time in weeks. I am really nervous, though I know I am working hard and that is all that matters.

Day 2 of body transformation... Countdown to mommy makeover

I decided that trying anything is better than stopping when the first couple of tries fail. I am okay with the fact that I have some weight to lose;  I am not okay with ever accepting this weight as "normal" or "okay". I am going to do whatever I can, in the healthiest ways until I find what it is that will work for me. I know that I want my mommy makeover before I graduate with my Masters in School Psychology. I know I have 50 pounds to lose and I KNOW that I still have time to do it in a healthy way that will not only get the weight off but keep it off as well.
I hope that this is the first of many photos that I will get to share that highlights my transformation into the sexy woman that I used to be. This is me Day two into my body transformation. I have not done my measurements I will later tonight. I am 197 pounds.

No more babies...

While having four kids has been such a challenge especially since my oldest is 6 and my youngest is now 1; lets just say I cry some times. Nonetheless, it has been a battle in my heart that longs for another baby (thank the lord my tubes are tied!). It all started at my last and final post c-section appointment, I knew that I would never experience that joy of closeness with my ObGyn again. Of course the worst moment was when I stopped breast feeding, boy was that the worse couple months of my life. I cried a lot and randomly, such as right before having to give a presentation to my class. Luckily for me school psychology is predominantly female and I had a lot of understanding people surrounding me. I am now feeling better, but once my little squeaker turned 1 it was a little sad knowing that that was it for first birthdays until one of my four make me a grandmother in 20 to 30 years from now (yes I am already counting down!). For now I just pursue my dreams and help my husband and children pursue theirs as well. It has been a journey with four, but a journey that I would do over and over again. I am going to try posting more because as you know with four kids their is always something to write about.
