Healthy Me

Yesterday, I was hungry all day long.  I wanted to munch non-stop!  That's not good for my weight loss goals.  I'm not sure why I felt like that.  I craved cold pizza like you wouldn't believe.

Some of my family would be wondering if they would see baby shower invitations in the mail if they read this because we have six kids and they think we'll just keep reproducing and automatically see a sign of a food craving as pregnancy. No plans to!  My husband turns 44 this year.  He is beyond the age of wanting anymore children.  Our youngest starts kindergarten in August and neither one of us wants to start over.

CNN Health has a news report out about the Rotarix Rotavirus Vaccine.  I have never had this given to my children but I am sure many parents have or are thinking about it so it's information you should know.  Read about it here.

I have a hard time finding a good facial cleanser. It seems like most everything I use when I am looking for the best acne facewash or make-up remover irritates my sensitive skin. It actually breaks out in little bumps on my cheeks (not acne, but bumps). Then the zits around my nose that seem to appear AFTER I clean my face…isn’t 38 years old a little old to be getting pimples around my nose for a few weeks every month?

There are several vacant businesses in our small downtown area. My husband and I briefly talked (wished) about having our own business. I am not sure what the trends say for top franchises 2010 but I had this great idea the other day for a small business…and then I forgot it. Darn thyroid! Hurry up, thyroid, and get regulated so I get all my memory back.  I can't run a business if I can't remember anything!

I am still at the 19 pound weight loss mark. With my thyroid medication dosage change, my weight started to creep up again little by little until I was weighing in two pounds heavier. It’s not a big deal normally but considering I’ve gone past the halfway point for my weight loss goal, I don’t want to add more weight and have to take it all off again. My thyroid doctor thought I would have to increase my medication and he was right. Besides weight, I started having other symptoms too.

I don’t think that after four children, I will ever have a flat tummy without liposuction (which I won’t do) or some type of weight loss surgery to seriously lose more weight than I plan on losing, but it sure would be nice to lose that fat off my tummy of another pound or two. I have four kids. I have baby belly. I’m almost used to it by now.
