Pretty Damn Depressing...

I went to the Doctor yesterday and when she came in she said she was worried because apparently I have gained 14 pounds in the last year. OMG is that ridiculous and mortifying. How does that even happen? and worse how did I not notice? She seems to think that I may have a thyroid disorder, as this type of weight gain is abnormal. So she took blood and I should find out about that in the next couple of weeks. But I am pretty much completely disgusted with myself at this point. I know things are getting bad when my doctor is suggesting weight watchers, which I am actually considering doing. I also want to join a gym of some sort. Something has definitely got to give though. This is just depressing.

I know how you feel. My weight has been up and since having my kids. I joined Wight Watchers and started working out last year and it worked. I dropped 15 pounds! Then I got preggers and moved to the middle no where. So, I've pretty much gained it back and then some. Now that I've had my baby I want to start working out and eating right. But... I lose motivation and get bored easily. Plus, I REALLY like food!!

Oh yea, the docs thought I might have a low thyroid but tests showed I had a functioning thyroid. They then told me I had PCOS.... Which could contribute to the weightiness.

I heard from my doctor today and apparently I do have a thyroid disorder. So now I have to make more doctors appointments and get medicated. That should at least help a little with weight loss. As long as I buckle down and commit.

Hey, at least you have some answers now! :) Perhaps you could look into a way to treat the condition herbally, if you are opposed to taking medications. Whatever the case, I wish you luck!

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho

Betsy's Gypsy Dreams

Image
When I was a little girl I would sit on my front porch reading and dreaming that the gypsies would come to take me away. I loved the music, dancing, color and whimsy of the gypsy. Their spirit spoke of freedom that my mid-western soul could not help but envy. I wanted to run away and find my place among those beautiful people.  And as an adult I still do. I love to dress in what I think of a a gypsy style. For my gypsy dreams post I am going to share clothes and accessories with a gypsy flair that I love, want or covet completely. found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here I hope you can use these inspirations to create your own gypsy look. For added flair make sure your skirt has bells or wear a bell anklet. Bring a little gypsy into the everyday.  Blessings.
