Neon Yellow, my new favorite color

This is way TMI - but my new favorite color is Neon Yellow - can i just laugh now! It’s oddly true but to blog about it is sooo funy! For those who understand - Great! For those who don’t I’m not going to go in detail other than this: I am in a new eating lifestyle. I’ve done it before but went off-the-wagon during the middle of my first pregnancy and now after baby #2 i’m back on! With this better way of eating for my body type with PCOS and all, my body has kicked in lipolysis/ketosis - hence my Neon Yellow! LOL

Ready to Reboot!

Here I am. And I am ready - mentally and emotionally! Ready to reboot my system - or in my Macintosh days, my favorite terminology “zap my P-Ram”! heehee anyway, you’re probably wondering what am I talking about? I am ready to get back to Eating Right and Exercise. This is what the doctors always tell us to do, but when they tell us to do it… it’s sooo not-fun to do! When it’s a personal, self-motivated choice, I believe the success is more possible and long term.

I did this before (ate right and exercised) and was in a season where it was more work and got off-the-wagon for sure (i had two kids), but now I am ready again! YEAH! So today, I am fasting. I am fasting for my health. I do this every time I’ve changed they way I eat. And I’ve done them all (low calorie, low fat, low salt, low carb, etc). They have all had their individual successful results. I have one I am passionate about - because i know it works for my Body, my Life, my Health and it’s more realistic to maintain.

Why now? Why? Well I had told myself since giving birth in Feb 2007, that I would not go crazy on myself about weight loss until he was one year. Well that time has come and passed. I was kinda ready and the best thing is I am more ‘hungry’ for more activity in my life! Walking or taking the kids to the park etc! So this has helped motivate me. Then, I guess after a few days of eating myself happy - My anniversary and such - I was like … ok that was a fun ride, now lets get back to business!

So the photo was one my hubby took yesterday and thoguht I would post it publically. No I don’t think I look bad, but I know I don’t look too healthy either. Don’t get me wrong, I so feel like a BBW and love my curves. I am just ready to eat better for my life’s sake. I may not (and dont want to) be a size 6, but I do want to be more healthy inside - my heart! With PCOS and a family history of health probs, I want to eliminate or postpone them if possible.

Join me if you want, to eating better - whatever your diet or activity change choice may be! I have a friend who is also making this decision and is doing it in a different way, but we’re doing it for the same reasons and want the same results. For our Health, for our lives!

Sweet Helena, we’ll miss you & pray for your three blessings!

I just found out today that Helena Kemp has passed on from this Earth. She was on a PCOS Moms list we’ve been part of for years! She has sweet 5 year old triplets and now they are with out parents. See Helena’s husband passed on before her nearly 2 years ago. WOW! Our list is numb. We just found out.

She is a sweet dear woman who lent me a dress to wear to my brother’s wedding in Dec 2006. She told me to pass it on and let it get used. I was 8 months pregnant and had no winter dressy clothes. I feel priviledged to be gifted this from her. She wore it when she was prego with her dear triplets and went to a formal event for the Jewish Community with her beloved Andrew.

We hope her family will contact us and let us know what we can do for the children. They are loved by all of us who know Helena and all she went through to concieve them with Andrew, have them, love them, loose Andrew, and be a single mom of three. We now pray for the family in their time of grief and taking care of these precious three.

Love and miss you Helena!
