6 lbs to go then I'll no longer weigh over 200lbs!! I never want to get back to this again!!
I'll update my weight this week when my period is over..... I'm super bloated (ugh.)
The end is in sight, I just have to beleive it.
Thank you to Paul Mckenna and his wonderful, simple methods. I'll be in that bikini on out honeymoon or else!

Well I guess not!
I got my blood test results back and they found nothing! No iron deficiency, no low B12 and no thyroid problem......Hmmmmmm perhaps my lack of energy has to do with not getting enough sleep?
There is this new show on TLC called 'I Can Make You Thin,' I have to say that it was AMAZING!! It makes so much frigging sense its mental! The first show was last Sunday and the host Paul Mckenna gave 4 golden rules:
1. When you are hungry, eat!
2. Eat what you want, not what you think you should.
3. Eat consciously
4. When you think you are full, STOP eating!
It was mind boggling how much I was overeating. I have been eating half as much as I was before. For the first time in a long time I am actually listing to my body. There are some very loud signals that you are full, if you only listen.
It seems so simple, and it works. I have lost 3 lbs this week. I haven't been under 212 in awhile. I weighed in today at 209!!
This makes me more optimistic that I can make my goal before our wedding, and not have to be the fat bride!
5 more months!!!!
This is Chris and I, we had our engagement shots done last Sunday :)

Exhausted
Well I have been a complete and total slacker. I have been feeling very fatigued lately, so I am going to the Dr's on Monday to get my iron levels checked. I'm also getting him to check my thyroid levels. I have been reading up on this condition called postpartum thyroditis.
The Unique Signs of Postpartum Thyroid Disease
Symptoms of postpartum thyroid problems can be much the same as postpartum depression, with a few critical differences...
-An underactive thyroid -- postpartum hypothyroidism -- may worsen the fatigue and exhaustion. It's not unusual for a new mother to be tired, but to sleep 14, 16 or 18 hours and wake unrefreshed -- this is not normal.
-Postpartum hypothyroidism may cause a woman to gain weight during the postpartum period, when most women start to shed pregnancy weight. Or, a woman who is rigorously dieting and exercising to take off her pregnancy weight may find that she can't lose an ounce.
-Finally, an overactive thyroidafter pregnancy -- postpartum hyperthyroidism -- may cause rapid weight loss...some women report losing 10 or 20 pounds in just a few weeks. This may also be accompanied by other hyperthyroidism symptom such as diarrhea, rapid pulse, feeling overheated, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping.
I think this may be the case, I am having a hell of a time trying to get this damn weight off!!!
I hope to get some answers soon.

YAY!!
So I spent most of last night feeling sorry for myself because I haven't been below 215 forever!! I went into the gym and got on the scale for my weekly weigh in and low & behold 212!!! That makes it 7 lbs in the past 4 weeks!!! I had a major cookie binge at the beginning of the week too, I guess because I was still in my points range, I still lost. Toot toot toot (tooting my own horn)
Yay me!!!!
Yay me!!!!

Yay , another loss!
We did our weigh in this morning and I am down another 1.5lbs. Yay me! Despite getting an unwelcomed visit from Aunt Flow this morning :( Oh well, I went 18 months without a period......I guess I'm due!
Cadence has been having sleep issues again (I think due to teething.) So neeless to say, I am in serious need of a good nights sleep.
On a lighter note, my good friend Lisa just found out that she is pregnant with #2 after 6 long months of trying. Congrats Lisa :)

The driver's licence LIES!!!!
Well I was looking at my drivers licence today and the weight that it says I am is 150lbs! I want to be at that weight SO BAD!
While watching "Biggest Loser" tonight I kinda had an A-HA moment. Why am I fat?? I am fat because I had a baby; I am fat because my parents divorced when I was 9 and the only comfort I got was from food; I am fat because I don't remember what it was like to be skinny........and it scares the hell out of me! By identifying these reasons that I am where I got to today, makes me realise that I am stronger than any of these things!!
I can do this!
Goals for the week:
1. Stay on point for the 2nd week in a row
2. Drink all of my H2O
3. Go to the gym at least 4 times
Ok, well thats all for me tonight. Cadence is finally sleeping in her own bed and I am going to get some much needed sleep.
xoxo Kristen
ps here's a ridiculously cute picture of my baby

Death By Chocolate
Df has this guy he works with who is an unbelievable cook, I mean he'd give Martha friggin Stewart a run for her money. So he is over at his house today and he brings me home a piece of chocolate moussey, cheesecakey, tort thingy.....and I ate it (well most of it)!!! It was so frackin good I almost died, totally worth the bazillion points. I'm heading to the gym tomorrow morning bright and early to hopefully burn off some of those well worth it calories.
