Im now a Mama with Lupus

I really didn't think I would be lucky enough to have children but somehow I got lucky!
  Welcome to the world Wolf Cub!

7 lbs 14 oz 21 inches long little boy cub! Arrived via c-section on January 19th (more on that experience later)

Home Alone Binge

I'm not the only one who binges before they start a diet,right?

I remember before I went gluten-free (both time) I went out and ate massive amounts of carb-y,wheat-y breads.

But tonight I'm battling super-boredom (being at home alone) and  the worst flu of all time!

 Looks like a legit soothing home remedy for my cough and sore throat.


So because Im feeling bored and fat. (I haven't worked out aaalll week)
I'm going to self medicate with food.

Paleo diet coming soon...
Carb Bingeing

I dance like Ive got diamonds...Oh who am I kidding?

Pole Fitness!

I am an awkward dancer

Im pretty sure Martha  is sexier than me.

I don't seem to have much rhythm and Im certainly not that sexy. 

But surprisingly though I feel sexy.
Maybe its all the dim lighting and flashing lights.
But its probably the shoes.

 I have been doing pole dancing for about a month now. Ive tried static pole (where  you move around the pole) and spin pole (the pole spins). I love them both.

The best part is I can actually see my fitness improve immensely. My mood is better and my ass is tighter.
(yeah, I said that. Bounce a quarter tight. ok not really)
What more can a girl need? 

   Maybe a pole at home?

Yoga

Yoga is awesome!
It makes me feel so self-righteous because I can touch my toes!

Planning a Wedding is not awesome!
It's stressful!


I'm going to a Magic Game tonight . In the awesome new arena! I hope they have gluten-free options!

Some things have been great since January 1st, my brother and I have become really close. I have felt motivated enough to work out! I've been better with my eating!Oh yeah, I got engaged!

But... My betrothed still hasn't told his mother. My parents (who I live with) are, hm, not exactly the best parents and it's getting worse

Getting Started

I've had a stressful week, half good and half not. The good part is I've started to lose weight! I'm waking up and going to bed earlier!
I track what I eat with a calorie counter and the accountability has really helps. Almost 5lbs since last week!
I have had less stress at home or maybe I'm ignoring it more. Classes and work stress me so very much but I'm working on it.
I still haven't gone running or to the gym. I've had a slight flare this week that I haven't been motivated enough to work through.

In the Beginning...

It was almost a year ago when I was diagnosed with lupus, for a couple of years I had been in the worst depressive fog, doing nothing. Seeing nothing. Just getting by with small jobs and consistently flunking school.
I'm getting better now. I go outdoors without becoming ill. I'm happier. I pay more attention to the things around me, including to his chagrin my boyfriend.

Since Ive developed lupus and a gluten intolerance Ive become fat! A size 4-6 to a size 12-14. I have no motivation to exercise or change!

But I'm pushing myself to get back on track!


By the way I've never been more embarrassed over a picture.
