Careful What You Wish For!


For the past few months I have been disgusted with how my body looks. After having my daughter, I quickly lost all but 4 pounds of the weight I had gained! I was so proud and excited since I had gained so much during the pregnancy. Granted, I lost 31 lbs in the first week due to the amount of swelling I had. Talk about crazy, I had the worst “Pitted Edema” known to man, I swear!  After doing so well to lose it all, I did an even better job at gaining it back x10. Okay, maybe a bit over exaggerated, but I am a woman, we can’t tell the real number.
Shortly before my trip to Vegas, I decided to move from the “Just Complaining” level, to the “Let’s Do Something About It” phase. So I started doing some work outs at home, got a cardio video from a friend and I was on my way! Although a week in Vegas killed all my good intentions. However, lack of progress and good intentions aside, I have been losing some weight. Just not exactly the way I planned.

Since returning home, I have managed to have stomach bug #1 (resulting in no eating), cyst removed from my tongue (resulting in no eating for a week) and now barely recovering from stomach bug #2 (which, wait for it……..resulted in NO EATING)! Although I appreciate the number heading down on the scale, this is not what I had in mind (although it’s taken much less effort on my part)!

Guess I should have been a little more specific when I wished I could lose some weight!
Moral of the story: If you ever find that genie in a bottle (not the Christina Aguilera version)
                                    you better be pretty dang specific what you wish for.
