Weightloss had begun to slow down, appetite has begun to pick up and consumption ability in one sitting has certainly increased. I've been hanging out at 147 for the past few weeks - few pounds away from "normal" BMI. Ideally would like to get down to 135, but could live with 137-140. This post already sounds more dry and whiny than intended :(. What's good you ask? Birthdays for sure! Turning 36 and being practically at goal and down 100 pounds from my highest weight feels absolutely incredible! Shopping has not lost its allure - now I'm learning how to accessorize so I can visually increase my wardrobe - that is an art form if I have ever seen one. In general life is good!
Health - RA has been pretty crappy overall but I am primarily to blame as lately carbs have crept back into my diet and I cave to my sweet tooth much more than I should. Ultimately with back to school just around the corner it is time for me to get my health and wellness back in order ... I'd like to try eating clean / paleo / low carb again as now I can afford to buy those pricey organic ingredients as I don't eat quite as much in one serving... But that absolutely requires a more concerted effort to plan, shop and remain consistent. Also think juicing would be good to go back to - if not all in one meal at least for breakfast and maybe a shake mid day and a hahaha... Wait for it - sensible dinner :) crompised of protein and veggies. Can I do it ? Absolutely? Will I --- hmm that is the big question. I need to as I believe it will help with the flare ups and allow me to get moving again.
A few weeks ago I awoke unusually stressed and went for a nice brisk walk before work - I was sore later in the day but the crisp air in my lungs and movement in my joints did wonders for my mind and gave me an usual amount of energy during the work day. Maybe I can't do it every day, but dang it at least three times a week. As I am in between studying and hearing about my promotion I owe it to my body to get in some well deserved exercise to form some healthy habits. Very little exvuse these days not to cook and eat better. As I type I'm looking at my swollen fingers that resemble stuffed sausages moreso than human digits. I digress and am complaining again - yeah, life is good. Most of what ails me I can or have the means to control.
In other news - finally ready to start a family... I think?! Begs the question if I am seriously ready huh? Decided that I've avoided the inevitable long enough and am ready to have pre conception tests run to confirm / advise if my body is baby ready. Verdict is still out on the impact RA will have on me / pregnancy but need to face those facts, find out and move on to the next phase - either trying to make a baby/ treatment to make a baby or looking into to adopting a baby.
What other ramblings, musings have I wanted to disclose but just haven't had a chance? Oh! ATTENTION - I get a ton of it since losing weight and I can't say I'm disappointed with that. It's nice in a simple word. Not quite as in tune with flirting as I thought I was ...
But that too is amusing once I figure out that's happening :)
Haven't said much in this post and it re-affirms my suspicion. Need to vet things out as they happen because the catch up posts are no way as good as the impromptu ones!
Ciao for now! Random pics from the summer below- which ironically reminds me of my "park" post... Boo!!! Will start that next.
