Before After

So many things...

OK - Thing #1 - For the first time in 3 1/2 years I am really ticked off at JC.  I had a consultant fill in for my regular consultant.  I placed the order, right?  Well, my regular consultant came back to work and placed the order AGAIN.  And get this - there was a $50.00 difference in the two orders.  So, now I have to wait until 8am (MY TIME) when Customer Service is available.  Although I find it funny that if I were a new customer they'd be glad to take my order. Usually I am very understanding about these sorts of things...which brings me to Thing #2

OK - Thing #2 - I know several of you on here have already had this enlightenment and I am definately late to the party, but I realize how unhealthy  processed foods are.  All this flouride, soy protein isolate, and hidden MSG's...  It's enough to drive a person batty!  I truly think I am at the place in my life where I can cook my own food and maintain a healthy weight.  This is why I've been thinking and blogging about how it's time to be a post- JC success story.  I really think that JC doesn't fit me or my nutritional needs anymore.  Perhaps Thing #1 was what I needed to get myself off my butt and just cut the cord.  The other addendum is our budgeting needs change when a baby comes...if ya know what I mean! Can we say FORMULA and DIAPERS?

OK - Thing #3 - I'm so freakin' terrified of vaccinating my baby. I know he "has" to have them but I mean seriously.  Could there be anymore crappy things to read about regarding their safety?  UGH!  Please someone, tell me I'm not neurotic!  I'm reading Suzanne Somers new book "Breakthrough."  Talk about an eye opener!!!

On the bright side: I finally have my period! WOO HOO!  I already feel lighter!

On the bright bright side: I've started some really great supplement from www.peakenergyscience.com I've got my organic/healthy calcium, EFA Oils, Greens, and nutritional yeast flakes.  :-)  I am happy about that.  I guess you could say I'm replacing one nutritional need: portion control via JC with another step up: excellent, quality supplments for my organic, healthy lifestyle.

And a littler brighter than that:I have in my cupboard some ADZUKI BEANS.  I can't wait to cook them.  I bought them organic from the health food store.  Read up on them.  Gillian McKeith loves them too.  She calls them the weight-loss bean.  They have 5 grams of fiber in 1/4 cup!  She's the host of the BBCA show "You Are What You Eat."

Breakthrough!

I know you have the knowledge to do this on your own.  JC is great.  You don't have to think about it too much. I love that.  But I also know that it's a tool.  You still have to learn to do this on your own.  I think you're there.  You'll do fine.  Can't wait to hear about your success.  Sorry about the mishap!

anyone

that only gains 18 lbs during pregnancy when they have struggled with weight in the past, is a winner in my book! your baby is so beautiful, congratulations!

You look great!

Love the new pic.  You are looking fabulous! 

As far the vaccinations, I wouldn't worry.  My daughter is 8 now and we've done every single vaccination that they have thrown at us and never had any issues.  She's a very healthy kid.  So don't stress!
