Hello Giggles!!
So hubby and I thought we were pregnant a week or so ago (YAY !! Right?) I was over a month and a half late and we were hopeful, squeezing with our fingers crossed. I had peed on so many sticks with mixed results we were about to go to Planned Parenthood. Finally Aunt Flo (ick I hate that name come to think of it-you know what, I'm going to call it as I see it)...Finally my period arrived. It was a sad day, but that's the thing with sad days, if you never had them, you would never be realize how awesome good and great days really are.
In my research to conceive, I found that weight plays a larger factor than I thought. I kinda just shook my head, I've known lots of fat women who got pregnant, multiple times even, so why couldn't I? After a day or so of sulking and having a mental pity party, I decided to deal with it. In addition to my party for one, last week I went to fill out hubby's insurance enrollment and found that as a part time associate he can not cover his spouse. So...WTF?! Here I thought I had been covered since I left Wal-Mart in June, but that was not the case. So, here I am with no insurance and wanting to add to our family. So, how hard could it be to get insurance right? Well, hard and expensive. I'm too fat.
So, I'm losing weight, but not on a crash diet or with hokey pokey miracle cures. I'm changing the way I eat (sad panda face...I LOVE junk food). I started researching for programs to help me. I wanted something that I could stick with, something I could use at home or out on the run. This meant it had to have an app for my Droid. I also wanted something that would keep me honest and that I would strive to be the best. I found Lose It. So far I LOVE it!! I use the free version, even though there is a paid program. I weigh every morning after I've done the potty dance and plan my meals and snacks out the best I can. It shows me what I've had and what I've lost (I'm a girl who LOVES her some graphs and charts!!!) including weight, calories and BMI...so it's great. It also has an extensive food library and the ability to make customized foods. So, I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars for right now. I'm going to continue to use it and we shall see. If you want to check it out here's the link ----> Lose It !!!
So far I have been using Lose It for about 2 weeks. I'm down 11 pounds, although it took a day or two to figure out my new scale. I'm really looking forward to a healthier me. I want to have a baby and be healthy (plus being able to be insured is a HUGE bonus). I'm doing this for me and no one else...although part of me want to slim down and get a kick ass pair of jeans with heels and a nice (super cute) top and allow my husband to show me off around town.
