We got married in July of 2010. I put on a few extra pounds and a few short months later, I found out I was pregnant! Which, led to MORE weight. I gained about 50 lbs. 20 lbs more then what you should gain. Ever since I had my baby girl, it's been so hard to lose it. My sister Kimberly, came to me and suggested that I do a 5k with her. At first, I was thinking.... HECK NO! Then, I decided why not?! The training wasn't bad at all. Really enjoyed it! My race was on February 12th. I can't wait for another race!
I decided on this life change for not only me, but for my husband and our children. As a mother, I didn't think it was a good example to show my children that it was okay to live the way that we were living, unhealthy.
About a week ago, I was told I have a low thyroid. I am on medicine now for it. My doctor told me that it should help me with losing more weight. I have noticed that for a month before my diagnosis that I wasn't as energized, I had frequent menstrual cycles, feeling tired, and my weight was at the same number. It wouldn't go up or down. I was told, that this medicine would kick in, in about a month. I called Kimberly, who has been the best encourager yet, She told me to try paleo. She and her husband have been doing it for quite some time now. It has really helped her out with her health issues. I am looking forward to trying something new.
Here's to getting healthy,
Amanda
