The Reason

I'm writing this blog from the comfort of my rocking chair. No... Not thanks to wireless Internet, but thanks to my little boy who has decided that the only way to nap is in mommy's arms.

Babies have the ability to know even from a deep sleep the second they leave mom's arms. Nice when all you want to do is snuggle... Not so nice when you mission is to move like a crazy person and accomplish in one nap-time what most people hope to do in a day... Oh well. The things I need to do will still be here tomorrow. Maybe no one will stain their clothes today and we can get by one more day... Today, I will snuggle because I know how quickly this time will pass.

I went to my endocrinologist doctor yesterday. I explained to her the _______ (insert word of choice here) frustrations I've been having with weight loss. In summary, my last post. Those 8 pounds are still here.

I haven't updated my blog because i had nothing new to share. I haven't had any progress, but the last few weeks have been so full of stress, I haven't let myself get all worked about it. I've still done good, but not great. I've been honest with myself and just let go of what I can't control... Let God take care of it.

Back to the dr visit. I failed to put 2 and 2 together. I started a new medication about a month ago. Guess what my dr said ..... "oh, you're on _____ It can cause weight gain. And it takes a while to get used to your body" REALY??? Argh! Seriously?!?! You didn't think to mention it BEFORE I spent the month playing Sherlock Holmes trying to figure out why after my hard work, my body backfired on me? Ugh! ....

I digress with my rant, because even though it's a month later.... I have my answer.

It wasn't something I did.

That's really all I needed/wanted to hear.
