Well, I haven't been counting calories anymore and have gained back all the weight I had lost and I'm no longer in "one"derland. :( Now, my husband and I are doing a juice fast. Today is day one and I was at 205 this morning. I've never done any kind of fast before so this is a first for me. I've heard people say the first week is the worst b/c you're detoxing and it's cleaning out your system and everything. I really didn't think it was going to be very hard but now I'm starting to second guess that thought. We got a Nutribullet and are basically going to try only drinking our fruits, veggies and nuts. I had my first one earlier and it was actually pretty good. I put spinach, half an apple, a banana, about 5 strawberries and 5 or 6 baby carrots. It was a LOT to drink. The Nutribullet works great though. If you've ever seen the documentary on Netflix called "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" that's what we're doing, except with a Nutribullet instead of a juicer. Our goal is to do it for a month but we are going up to the lake for 4th of July weekend in 2 weeks and I doubt we are going to keep it up over the weekend. I keep getting the urge to eat something, just out of habit when I'm fixing the kids food or I see chips or something laying out. Something in my head says take a bite even though I don't feel hungry.
Nathaniel is a year old now. He turned a year in April. Him and his daddies are doing great. I sure would like it if I got more updates and pictures but not much I can do about that I guess. :'-( I am going to be doing another surrogacy this year. I'll probably sign up with GG again in August or September. I just don't want to transfer until after my birthday in October. I'm going to be 30 this year and want to be able to go out with my hubby and my friends and have a good time and a few drinks. I can't wait to be pregnant again though. I miss my prego belly. I had to wait 2 years from the time I transferred to the time I am able to transfer again b/c my OB wouldn't clear me medically until then since I had a c-section. I have never heard of anyone having to wait that long and I'm really thinking about finding a new OB. Not just b/c I've had to wait so long but b/c they seem to have a high c-section rate and really push c-sections and I don't like that. Hopefully I can find a good OB between here and Atlanta that has a low c-section rate and is covered by the surrogacy insurance.
Nathaniel's First Birthday!
