Back on the wagon

Now that cinco de mayo and mothers day have passed I think I have finally rid my house of bad food. We're out of soda, left over carne asada, and cheese. I went to Soup Plantation for lunch with my mom for her belated mother's day and didn't make it to the gym. Usually hanging out with my mom is really discouraging. I don't know how many of you have seen my mom but she is a tiny Asian lady (size 4 to be exact) with glowing tan skin and tone muscles. She's so focused on health and fitness and it's ALL she talks about. She's the person that remembers that random diet I said I would start 6 months ago and asks if I'm still doing it, if I'm still working out, doing wii fit, fasting carbs, etc etc etc. It's the kind of accountability I hate, mostly because it's my mom and it feels less like accountability and more like mom disapproving of me. Plus she has her ideas of what is healthy that are different than mine and she's always trying to get me to have smoothies every day and drink aloe. But yesterday was more about her concern for my PCOS, which I was surprised about. In the past she didn't show much enthusiasm about me getting pregnant. She was confused about the Metformin and thought that i had diabetes and wasn't telling her. I eased her fears and let her know that PCOS is treatable and that I should see results within the year. She felt much better and the she was very encouraging to me, just saying that she was proud of me and that she's glad she doesn't have to worry about me because she knows I'm all grown up and have my life in control. It felt good.

It also made me excited to eat healthy, so I made some yummy wheat pasta with mushrooms tomatoes and spinach for us to share and we spent the evening having communication time which was so nice. This week was looking up but I feel like I'm getting sick. Please pray that I don't let it be an excuse to eat chicken soup and loaf around! If I can still breathe without coughing I want to go to the gym and if I can still stand for a bit I still want to make veggie soup with beans to eat instead of chicken rice soup. I know this is just my body purging toxins! So if you think about it, please pray that this doesn't get me down and out!!

I'm taking a personal day off of work on Thursday, thank the LORD! It's so needed!
