#Mamavation Monday ~ The ever changing body

I don't know about the rest of you, but this week has literately flown by!  This past week my workouts have mainly consisted of being outdoors as much as possible.  Living in Wisconsin one never knows when snow will come, so I decided to make the most of it.  I even managed to get my kids outdoors to play most everyday. Thanks to  Mother Nature who has given us all some great tools to keep the kids active with her color palate of leaves.  I only managed to make it to the gym once this past week due to my schedule, so my goal for this week is to at least try to get to the gym twice.

This week the Mamavation Moms are talking about Menopause and were learning what we need to know before it starts.  No one likes to talk about the "change" or the "curse".  In fact in my family when I was younger my mom actually used to say that "Aunt Flow is in town"  I never knew who "Aunt Flow" was until I was 12 when "Aunt Flow" visited me.  In fact she never really ever gave me the "talk".  But lets face facts.  If your a woman, your body like mine is going to experience some of the best and worst changes.  As some of you know I have ovarian cyst, that like to burst & than grow back,  which as far as I know scientifically doesn't cause early menopause.  But the thought is always on my mind.  Especially since I have been told the best thing for my body to help with the heavy bleeding (I know TMI) was & is to have another child.  But since the hubby isn't on board with that idea I have to deal with the cramps, bloating, the feeling like my ovaries are going to burst open at any given minute not to mention the periods that like to try to stick around for two weeks at a time.  Than again, maybe menopause wouldn't be the worst thing.  Any way I am extremely interested in this show tonight. 

Even though I wasn't going to weigh in tonight I decided to say heck with it & did it anyway.  Well drum roll please....even with weighing in at 7:00 CST I am still DOWN 2 #s!  Yea!!!!


This week Weight: 208
Goal Weight: 150

Plus I just re-met my first 5# mark!  I have officially lost 5#s in two weeks!!!


(ok granted I had gained that all back three weeks ago, but its still a new loss!)

Only 58#s to GO!
