Zumba!

I went to my first Zumba class today with my Mother in Law! I really enjoyed it. I need to get some new shoes and a sports bra. My feet are hurting me :( I've been eating perfectly lately and working out daily.  I'm so proud of myself :) I am meeting up with Andres tomorrow for dinner. We are going to Williams. I am treating myself with a Chai Tea Latte but I will be having a salad for dinner. Until next time! :)
Below is a photo of me and my boy at the Zoo this weekend :)

Never been so happy to see her!

She's here! I never thought I'd miss her but how happy and excited I was to see her yesterday morning. That's right, Aunt Flo. I worked out every day this week. Monday and Tuesday I did the treadmill and yesterday I lifted hand weights. The fact that she came 2 days after I started working out is not a coincidence.  Apparently exercise helps you create estrogen which triggers your period. I am going to try and take my vitamins and track ovulation this month. I've been on track 100% on my eating. I have two protein smoothies per day, either at breakfast and lunch or breakfast and dinner. They are so yummy! This week I will be visiting my parents. So scared that I'm going to sabotage myself. Going to bring some protein powder. I weighed in today for the first time since God knows when but I am 273 *barf*. Around the same that I was this time last year. Last June I got down to 260 I believe. I know I will do that again and some more. Excited to see where this journey leads to! This is the protein powder I use. Vegan and high fibre with added greens. This is chocolate but I have the vanilla too :) Yummy!

I'm Back!!! AGAIN :(

I was feeling pretty awesome about starting again... until I came back to my blog lol. Feeling like bit of a failure. I feel pretty motivated this time around. Here is a little update:

I went off the pill in September 2014 to see if we could conceive baby #2. Periods were fairly normal and ranged from 30-5 days. My last period was Januar 31st, 2015. I started having pain if my left side so I finally went to the doctor. Had ultrasounds and bloodwork done. All "perfect" according to my doctor. The only thing was they found "multiple tiny cysts" on my left ovary. I asked her if this "proves" my pcos, she said it "suggests" it. So my plan is to seriously drop this weight. I am sure that is why I was able to conceive Ethan so naturally. I am not sure what I weigh exactly but I think I'm hovering around 275 :( I will check once I feel some changes in my clothing. This week I have worked out every night on my new treadmill. Thursday I am going to my first Zumba class with my Mother in Law. Should be fun! Feel free to add me on Fitness Pal: kristinatodd1986
