Where do I start?
Life happens. That is what has been the case for the last 7 years since my last post. So much has happened, changed, gotten better, gotten worse. Below are some of my changes:
Baby #2, Elise Renee arrived. Never thought this would be possible. Blessed beyond measure.
November 2013- job promotion to Assistant Manager. Required travel of 2 hours a day on road. Better money for family and great opportunity for me. Started eating out consistently and gained 30 pounds in a few months. Family life was wonderful.
August 2014- I take on a branch of my own as Manager. I don't have time to eat healthy, right? Sad thing is I worked with some very fit women who were always encouraging me. I couldn't get out of my own way. Gained another 25 pounds.
October 2016- I came back to my home branch of 13 years as the manager. Closer to home. Great steps in my career. Still not losing weight. Diagnosed with diabetis.
Present day- work is great. Family is beautiful. Life is wonderful. I'm not healthy. I am confident in who I am, what I stand for, and even how I look to a degree. What others think doesn't really bother me. I am a beautiful woman because of who I am. I need to be healthy for myself and my family. It's time to make some changes. I need to feel better. I have read some old blogs to motivate me and make me remember why I started this journey to begin with. I need to be healthy. That is number 1. Anything else that comes with it is a plus. I am going to recommit to a new lifestyle. I will be posting updates and new things I find out about healthy ways to battle PCOS. I owe it to myself. I welcome you on this journey. I do not like the thought of people reading my journey. It's private. It's raw. It's the only way I know to hold myself accountable. So, here goes.
