Woooow, it’s been awhile! Almost a month! I really try to put forth the effort of updating, but I always think about updating when I’m at work and then by the time I get home, I’m too tired or too busy doing other things to get around to posting. Finally….here is a new post!
So…let’s start off with the diet and health update. I’ve completed 19 weeks and have lost 57.5 pounds. Yay me!! I’m very close to my goal of 73 pounds, however, my doc and I have discussed me losing more weight after hitting the first goal. He said we would reassess once I hit that first goal and reevaluate my fat levels and what not to make sure that it’s healthy for me to still lose weight. He said as long as I don’t drop down too far and stay in a healthy range then he is okay with me losing more.
Other than the weight loss, there isn’t much on the diet front to update. I’m doing incredibly well and this has really truly been a life changing diet for me. Not only did it help me to find out that I had a thyroid disorder, but it has helped me regain my life. I am loving life – it is amazing! Not to sound too full of myself here, but I love to hear people comment on how great I look and how skinny I’m getting!
Life is now an adventure…I always loved life, but I love it even more…I feel great (a lot of that due to the wonderful thyroid hormones that I am on and that have my hormone levels normalized). I’ve somewhat started running on the treadmile – something I would have never done in a million years before. I can’t wait to reach my goals!
So, I’ve also gotten glasses within the past couple of weeks. I don’t have to wear them all of the time….they’re pretty much reading glasses. I had them on the other day with some old friends who had never seen me in glasses and one friend commented that they made me look smarter….hmmm….made me think I should start wearing them all of the time! 
It’s Christmas time…..my favorite time of the year!! My house is all decorated…my nice big tree in the living room, my mantel all decorated, the kitchen decorated, the dining room has a tree with handmade ornaments of family member’s photos….it’s my “family tree”. Upstairs in my “studio” is my pink tree…okay, the tree isn’t pink, but all the decor on the tree is. I will post some pics on here after this posting.
Something I had been meaning to post was some pics from the engagement shoot I did a month or two ago. I had fun on this shoot – the first engagement shoot I had ever done. I will share some of my favs in a following post
And…that’s about it in my life right now…haha, okay, maybe not….there are a few gentlemen in my life…not really dating, but talking and possibly progressing at some point (not all of them at once – I’m not that kind of girl!) And most recently, I’ve become smitten with a medical student who has been hanging around at work…quite good looking and a nice sarcastic personality. Maybe things will spark between the two of us – who knows – but I’m trying
Hmmm, that’s all that I can think of right now. Let me post this and then pull up some pics to post. Oh, and I will post a somewhat updated pic of moi on here….
Okay, so actually this isn’t a completely updated pic – this was taken on November 19th…almost a month ago. So I’m skinnier now than I was in this pic Oh, yes, and I wore a little black dress for the first time, to my work Christmas party. It was a blast getting all dazzled up and going out in a tiny black dress when my coworkers are used to seeing me in semi baggy scrubs! And there was a litte….cleveage showing….I was a little self conscious, but at the same time it was nice just enjoying my new found body
Okay…this is to be posted….now…..and then I will add Christmas pics and engagement pics.
