3 Months Completed

Almost three months in to Ideal Protein and working with Coaching and Medicine. I was just rereading some of my blogs from last time around pre-last child being born. And I was encouraged! I looked back at who I was and I was proud of that Charity.  She worked so hard and didnt give up. I am going to make it there again! I've lost almost 30 lbs in 3 months. Which is great and way more progress then I ever made on my own.

I keep trying to do math in my head - to see what range of time it might take me to get to a specific goal. I don't know if that is healthy or not, but it does encourage me that I wont be FOREVER in a weight loss phase. In looking back at prepregnancy pictures when I hit 179 last time around and then was able to have my youngest son, I remember how much energy I had, and how strong my body felt. And how much I could do with my kids. I don't let this current body stop me, but Definitely I know that certain things are just harder with the extra pounds. 

My coach and doctor are suggesting a break from IP at the end of June. I am uncertain that I really want to take a break. I am really on a roll and I don't want to lose momentum. They say they are worried I might just quit at some point. And in rereading my blog, my previous coaches were worried about that too. However,  I NEVER quit or gave in or up on the plan. The only thing that made me stop was the fact that I got pregnant 2x. And then my coaches at the time were unable to help me with nutrition into my pregnancy. 

I don't think I'll give up! 

I am strong, with God's help I can make it.

Also I just dont want to wait to drop the rest of the lbs. 1 year of my life is short in the grand scheme of things. In 10 months i could potentially be 100lbs down from here. And I would be at 176! 

No one has really noticed or commented on my weight. Except one person. And that person said I had gained weight. 🤣

It's weird....you don't want people to comment on your body, but also you kind of do! Strange right?
