Kickstarting again

I have not touched this blog in ages, but it is time to get back into it again.
Since I last blogged, I went back to school to restart my career as a massage therapist, something I should have never given up in the first place.  With that said however, I am glad I went to back to school and it was a real challenge for me and one that I accomplished and with highest achievement honor no less.

From the time that I finished school, mid March 2013, I have lost 20 pounds.
Yay!!! Yes the never ending challenge of loosing weight and keeping it off.  

I have also had many health problems over the past year.  I had been hospitalized with Gastropariesis, a terrible auto-immune disorder which causes the stomach to go into paralysis.  I literally almost died as they had a difficult time figuring out what I had in the first place.  Finally once they did, I had to change my diet drastically and also take medication.  This proved to be a real wake up call for me to make the necessary changes in my life or be sick.

One thing I have found is that I am gluten sensitive.  OK, I know that there seems to be a trend out there about Gluten, but I have suspected this for many years prior to all the hoopla.  Turns out it is the truth for me and when I stay away from Gluten, I do much better and at the same time, find it much easier to lose weight as well.

I seem to have reached a plateau however at this time and need to lose another 20 pounds.  I would be thrilled with 10 actually and not unhappy with the way I am looking now.

For now I am going to sign off but hopefully I will keep up with this blog once again.
