I "sit" For ME!

Kate and I freezing but cheesin!
 What a FUN morning. 
So I found out about the walk last minute. I have been trying to volunteer for a walk, but seems like every time one comes around its too hot or something comes up last minute. I was very excited to see it was supposed to be 60 degrees !!! I couldn't wait. But as the day approached the weather channel predicted it to be 40 degrees!! Oh I was so excited about this. I picked out my outfit the night before like a little kid going on a field trip the next day. My BFF Kate joined me ( her mom has MS too) she had DOUBLE the reason to be there.  I woke up at 6:30 AM and headed that way. 

I got there early and Kate followed shortly after. I had gotten a coffee ( an iced coffee on a 40 degree morning), I put it on the ground, then I unfolded a table right on top of it! AHH Bye bye coffee. Thankfully Kate showed up with the same coffee ( it was hers, but whats hers is mine right?). 

I sat there doing registration with Kate, I tried to stay as busy as I could, and not look up much. Since I could see women in wheel chairs and people with a small limp even a bling woman came up to the table. It was a hard thing to ignore... I couldn't help but to sit there and let my brain start running and imagine the worst. But then I looked over and saw my friend there, FOR ME. And met some people that within 5 minutes of meeting me, told me that they are going to help me with my MS and are there if I need anything. HOW FREAKING AWESOME IS THAT? No wait, let me answer. Pretty awesome. I then came home to my daughter who just brightened my day and makes me want to KEEP walking and KEEP going. Because I need to... 

All in all it was a great day! And now I have a new DR closer to home, who hopefully will be able to help me in my journey to stay healthy. 

lalala doing it all over again next saturday.

30 days on Plexus Slim 
30 Days.
So now Ive finished my 30 days on Plexus. Seems like it went by quick. 
When I did my half way post I had only lost 4 lbs. And I am not going to lie I was a little disappointed. I mean my stomach didnt shrink like the pictures I had seen and I didnt look like Megan Fox.... HAH! Well there was a few other differences. For one, I wasnt binge eating anymore. The accelerator pills really put a HUGE halt on my hunger. I still would snack here and there, but I wasnt hungry for full meals. Second my energy was AHHHMAZING. I normally have to push myself to even do dishes ( WHO DOESNT) but seriously, I am like a little snail, around the house. Not with Plexus, I was on top of my game. 

It helped me at the gym too, I had the energy to go in the evenings. I would get excited to go and wanted to. My Zumba teacher works our butts and I was able to keep up!!! Half way through, about the time I did my half way weight gain, I started to have MS symptoms again. Aside from the normal headaches, I got numb on my right side. I was a little sad because I knew what this meant. STEROIDS. Which means, weight GAIN. I was all well there goes that. I put it off as long as I could. But then I took them. 
30 days on Plexus

From feeling so crummy and other stuff, I didn't go to the gym for a little just because I didn't have the energy. And I KNEW that I was going to gain weight.. the little progress I had made was going to go bye bye. Well, I went to the gym Friday...... AND I LOST 4 MORE LBS!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Plexus!! I thank plexus because normally I gain tons of weight when I do a steroid treatment. And I was very happy to find out that not only I didn't gain, but I lost!! 

Total of 8 lbs. I am very happy with that. Considering I didn't go to the gym for the last days and I didn't drastically change my diet.

Lalala my weight loss journey int over yet!
