It's been a crazy summer. Rain was prolific at the end of June and early July. We have finally had great and HOT weather this week. We have been able to swim at my moms several times and it finally feels like summer! Just when we are starting to enjoying it, we will begin our new homeschool year in a week. Yikes! I'm ready. We have been off for about six weeks and it's time to get back in a groove. I am finally back on track with my eating plan. Coming off sugar completely was not fun, especially with my period coming this week. My periods are the type that I am bed-ridden for a couple of days as my endometriosis flairs up. Since I have been taking Vitex regularly, my periods are starting to even out. I went from October-March with no period, then I had one in March, June and now July. I think I may start to have them regularly if I keep up my Vitex routine. I think exercising 3-5 times a week is helping as well.
Tomorrow is homecoming at church. Normally I plan to eat whatever I want at church dinners and deal with getting back on track the next day. Tomorrow, I am planning on eating what I should and nothing else. It's not worth the guilt and the physical pain from too much wheat and sugar that I will get by going off plan. If I am going to cheat, it had better be an absolutely delicious meal.
Now that I'm back on track, I'm calling it Round 2. The first round was from January-May and I lost 23 lbs. The last two months I have been off plan more than on, which resulted in gaining 5 lbs. So this time around, I am planning on another 20 lbs by Christmas! I will get this weight off me, even if it takes 3 years (which more than likely, it will).
I'm working on a post about adoption, but I'm not quite ready to post it. Maybe in a week or two!
