Yes it is really close Hugs.
I hadn't heard of the TV series,
I'm going to the library later in the week with the kiddos
I'll have to try and reserve the first one.
I'm really obsessive about a series, I have to read it in order LOL
The Dresden Files was on Sy Fy for a few months. I got hooked and then they cancelled it. Wah!
Someone mentioned the books and I read one. That was it...I got hooked totally. Yes look for it at the
library Liz.
I'm here - AGAIN!
My name is Kelly
I live in the Chicago area
My goal for October is to get back on the wagon after a month of having fallen off. This past month has taught me the importance of being consistent in whatever I do. I haven't had a horrid month. And I did better than my old days of not trying to watch what I'm eating at all. But I've got 4 pounds I need to RE-LOSE (boooooo - hiss!) but I'm ready. I had my annual exam yesterday where I was forced to get on a scale. I had been avoiding the scale. Bad move on my part. But I had to face it. Yes, I was disappointed with a gain but it seriously could have been so much worse and I'm encouraged that yes, I can do this even if I've been through a bad spell. My doctor was a huge encouragement and I was able to talk to him about several things regarding wight loss and body image that I had been wanting to discuss. We also discussed weight loss in my breasts, I had been hoping to see more of it, and a possible breast reduction after I've reached my weight loss goals, if not before. They are a huge deterrent (no pun intended) to exercising and very discouraging so he was honest and said that I may not see any loss in them and probably won't know how my weight loss is effecting them until 2-3 months after I quit nursing. Knowing the truth is an encouragement. I'm good with the truth so I know exactly what I'm facing. So we'll add working with my "breast challenges" to my exercise challenges but I'm determined to stick with this. Okay - refocus. October goals - get consistent with exercise, get back to eating breakfast, portion control, hopefully resulting in a 10 pounds loss.
My "treat" is currently a candy bar. I need a new treat that doesn't cost anything!
I'm glad the doctor was able to answer your questions,
And that you can make a plan for the future.
How much longer do you think you will be breast feeding?
