The last few months have gone so fast, as did the whole summer. To be transparent I will tell you that the last few months I had been struggling with depression. I take Zoloft so I just couldn't figure out what was going on. I also take Melatonin at night to help me sleep. I felt like God was telling me to get off of the Melatonin. I decided to start researching side effects of it and found out that melatonin can worsen the symptoms of depression. I decided to stop taking it and see what happened, and to my surprise, my depression is so much better. I certainly still have my days but overall I would say that I am about 90% back to normal!
So on the diet front....As of last time I blogged (August 5th) I have lost another 6.6 lbs for a total of 30.4 lbs! I should say that I wish this number was higher but the only person I can blame that on is myself. I have been cheating a lot more and not exercising like I should be. I need to get the excitement to loose weight back. Hey, I guess 6.6 lbs lost is better than gaining weight, I keep reminding myself of that so that I don't get discouraged.
On a brighter note...1 year ago today, at this moment, I was holding Emma for the very first time....Happy Birthday to my sweet sweet little angel. I never realized how much I would enjoy having a little girl until I had one! I just love all of the pink and fun hair bows!. Her smile just lights up a room. She loves her big brother so much and follows him everywhere! Here are a couple recent pics of my birthday girl...enjoy!
Proud of you! You are right- the enemy wants to discourage you and condemn you but you are walking in victory! Way to go!
