I'm back!

Wow! Two years have passed, and I'm finally back. Ready to lose again. It's crazy how life gets away from you and how much dedication it actually takes to get back in shape. A lot has happened in the past two years. Yes, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which is a big part of the reason that I was having such a hard time losing. I take 150 mcg levothyroxine now and actually have a little energy.

Good news! I've had a baby since I last posted. He's now a healthy 5 month old and keeps me busy. Not that I wasn't busy before. Ha! We have a house full now (done having babies!) ranging from 5 months to 13 years. There are five kids in all.

I'm no longer pursuing my Nursing degree. The hospital sponsoring me could not afford to continue the program, so I had to take a year off. Then, I got pregnant. Surprise! I've found that I'm quite satisfied working from home. It does have its financial challenges, especially when you are not focused. This year, I'm working on getting focused and staying focused - in more ways than one. I hope my weight is one area that I can focus on.
