I am a lazy blogger

I have realized how long it has been since I have blogged.... oops, I have find life to be challenging at this point. In the last trimester of my pregnancy I was on bed rest for a spinal condition, Spondylosisthesis, yikes I can barely say that. After my pregnancy I just felt awful, she was breech and I had a c-section. Something was just not right, in fact I have not felt well for a long time. I had my thyroid checked because I have been struggling with weight for a while and that was good, that doc said it was because of my PCOS and the med for that would dry up my breast milk. I was not going to do that. I saw another doctor who specialized with a more natural approach to health and medicine. Turns out I have some major food allergies, I am allergic to grains, soy product, insulin resistant. This limits a lot out of my diet due to my being a lacto-ovo vegan. Doc said I had to start eating at least some fish, ughh. It is so gross. My food allergies were actually fueling my PCOS, making me gain gross amounts of weight for my body frame, making me lethargic, have joint pain, and many other symptoms. Having a three year old and a two month old is very challenging when all you want to do is sleep. I started my new diet, well I guess it is more of a lifestyle than a diet and after half of a day my body was going through serious withdraw symptoms. I realized I needed to have more preparation for my new grain/soy/sugar lifestyle. My house was completely chaotic and is getting better due to my bed rest (although I wasn't a very good bedrester), and I had no meals prepared or shopped for groceries. So today I am finishing the house, tomorrow meal planning, Tuesday shopping, and Wednesday is D-day. So all of you bloggers out there hold me accountable and get ready for recipes and pics of food. I will keep you updated on my weight loss and my overall energy and well being.
