once again, same old struggle

once again, same old struggle

I enjoyed a good year and a half or so of not worrying about my weight. It took about 8 months to lose my baby weight, but since then I have put it all back on again. I am now at the same weight I was back a few years ago, when I joined Weight Watchers and ended up losing 20 lbs before getting pregnant. Weight Watchers was really good for me, but this time I decided to try and…

break a leg!

The other day, I was doing laundry so I removed the baby gate from the top of the stairs that lead to our den. Savannah was taking a nap at the time, so I knew it would be okay.

Well this new antibiotic is doing the trick – I feel 100 times better! Today (or rather, yesterday, since it’s after midnight now…) I woke up from a nap confused and disoriented. Just like old times! I don’t take naps well, and I knew that something was wrong this past month when I was able to take naps every day. Everything’s still not 100%, but it’s nice to feel that I’m on the mend. I hope that my energy will…
