Heading For the Finish Line

Well it's been 9 months and I have made my last Mini Goal as of today! I'm 175lbs today and I am in such a wonderful mood today! It's weird how a number on a scale can cause such elation! lol

Anyway, I've finally figured out how my months go these days... and I guess this is similar to how it is being a "normal" woman... you know, with hormone shifts and stuff. So I'll start with the "normal" week or so, thats where I can barely eat anything, am not usually hungry at all and might have a throwing up episode from eating wrong... then we come to the week or so of ovulation which is where the bottomless pit comes into effect. I turn into some kind of freak who is never satisfied with food and I feel like I am constantly hungry and constantly eating! It's like that for about a week and a half or so through the middlish to the end of my period. The week after my period is usually when I notice my weightloss for the month and where I feel nauseous all the time and could care less about eating... it's a vicious cycle and I kinda miss not having the raging hormones!! lol But then again, being 175lbs is NICE too!!!

So nothing really new to report... Dr's say I have to wait until at least May to see how things are going before thinking of getting pregnant again... I really wish I could get it overwith so that I can get my tummy tuck (boy, I need it!) and my sling for my bladder put in... both of which are pointless if I plan to have another baby. So until May we wait... at least it's only a few months away!! Don't think I'm not going to try to talk them into it before then, though!! hehehehe

Ok so thats about it for an update.... 25 more pounds to the ultimate goal, think I'll make it there before May 2nd????
