Detoxing.

I'm thinking about doing a detox on my body. I've been reading up on some. Like the Water Detox. Or the Juice Detox. I really want to do it. One to get rid of some of the toxins in my body and just to cleanse it. I feel so sluggish and bloated all the time.
I'm going to research it a bit more though to see which one is the best.

I forgot to update though on Madison. She had her 15 month appt about a month ago. It wasn't my regular Doc that was their. It was a Nurse Practitioner. Anywho She was concerned about Madi's weight. From her 12 month to her 15 month she had only gained 4 ounces. She was 19 lbs 10 oz. The doc said her weight should be at about 23 lbs. I was pretty shocked. Madison is just a small kid. I was small too at her age. Anywho the advice she gave me was outrageous. She basically told me to feed her ice cream and chocolate milk everyday for a month to "fatten" her up. I was appalled that she was even suggesting that. And the sad thing is. If I wasn't as informed as I am about nutrition unlike some people in the world I would of followed her advice. Many people just take their doctor's advice like it is golden information. You can not trust everyone. I like to do research.

She tried to "scare" me with the "well if she doesn't gain weight we will have to do tests". I looked at her as if she had lost her mind. No test will be run on my child until I see a reason for them to be done. I don't think anything is wrong with her. She has always had a problem eating, but I know that she is getting enough to eat.

She has a follow up weight check today to see if she has gained anything. I will update later.

Smiles.

Life has been awesome these past couple of months.

I signed up for this upcoming semester and I'm actually going to the school instead of doing it online! I'm really excited to just interact with students and teachers again.

My Mother was in town this past week. :) It was fun! We had a blast. We went to the Zoo and we went out for my birthday that was this past Sunday. I'm 24. I know some people are like "you're so young!" but I just feel like I look my age now. Before I could pass for 18 when I was 21. Now I actually look my age!!! :) It's ok though. I'm like fine wine haha I get better with age...

Here's me and my Hubby <3



I have some news.... :( Madison weaned a couple weeks ago. It makes me really sad, but she lasted almost 16 months. And that's an accomplishment. Some people don't even last 2 weeks.


I've also been going out a lot more lately with friends. It's been really good. I feel I guess "normal" again. I mean I love my life. My husband and my kids are my world. I guess sometimes a women just needs to be a women! And talk to other women about women things! :) hehe anywho. That's all I have for now


Just a pic of a pretty flower I took at the Zoo
