YoungHeart1980!

I hope everyone is doing okay. I feel good and I’m so excited to begin to going back to my healthy self.

It’s day 79, post-surgery. I have been working on myself physically. A couple weeks ago I started walking outside, now I can walk for a longer time half hour or more. I began to eat healthier of course. I only cheat one day per week and indulge in my favorite unhealthy dishes and tacos.

Each meal I have to include a veggie and/or meat high in metabolism or healthy snack if I’m not hungry, even a shake of raw veggies and fruit and add stevia for a little sweetness. I’m eating in moderation, snacking in between meals as well with yogurt or nuts. Each day my mood has changed drastically. I have noticed the physical changes with an intake of 50mg of vitamin D3 with each meal to enhance my energy and bones every other day. I had surgery to remove a fibroid. My skin was dry, awful blemishes on my face, anemic, headaches, hair loss, blurry vision, fatigue and always tired. You could notice the anemia under my eyes it seemed like I had bruises! I couldn’t work out for longer than 30minutes, my walks were tiring and had to take deep breaths and felt my breathing had hiccups. The dizziness came a couple months prior to surgery.

Today I have already included body lifting back into my workout routine. I lift because I feel stronger, it shapes my body definition. My face looks cleaner and clear. My nails are no longer brittle or break easily. Slowly I have gotten my groove back. I’m able to play and wrestle with my son. You don’t know what you have until its taken away. My focus is to spend quality time with myself, my family and the people I enjoy spending time with. I gave too much of myself to things that didn’t deserve it and put myself in the back-burner. These people and things didn’t deserve my time. Listening to myself, my body needs. Lessons definitely learned. All the Best!
