Hello Friends! What a early morning thought to jump on here and share. It’s been a while and I am sure I have a lot of inspiration down in here somewhere, lol. I actually had a trainer tell me that I show him inspiration and he’d like to share some of my story with others. I’ve come a long way since this brain injury happened. Over 2 years now and it’s incredible to realize that. I feel like I took a big step back, but I am told no I have not! Tough when your in it and not looking in from outside, right? Yeah, so crazy! So not sure what the last thing I shared. I have a lot of good stuff going on here. I have started out working with a fitness trainer and next week I add on another one. So I will have more then 1. I have found a functional Neurologist who has put me on a new diet- it’s called a autoimmune protocol diet. Trying to get down the inflammation in my body that is very high! A recipe for disaster if I don’t take it serious. So I am taking it all Very Serious and no more playing around. I have lost 17 pounds that I know of and I haven’t jumped back on the scale. I figure I would wait a bit more before I checked again. Pretty excited that I can notice how my clothes fit different. I am on a mission to get fit despite this injury! My husband has started working out also and that is Great! He is on this journey with me and even eating a little better too! This makes me so happy! It’s nice to have your partner with whom you share a home with on board! It makes it more easy and you feel soooooo supported! You can try to talk to others to get on board a little too, but the bottom line is ” you have to love yourself enough to make changes to live a better life, to be healthy, to be happy and not settle to life feeling like crap everyday physically and mentally! To stop being lazy and not doing the work as hard as it is to make a CHANGE! It took me a while to realize it and boy I am so glad I did! I don’t want to weigh 300 pounds with my joints screaming and the rest of me in every way to follow in that misery…. most of all my mind feeling ashamed of who I have become and not caring about me! It’s easy to not DO THE WORK… but where does that get you??? In an early grave… feeling miserable in every way! Get up and make those changes and ask for help if you don’t know how! JUST DO IT! NO Excuses! One little step at a time! What have you got to loose besides weight, fat, misery! It’s horrible living like this- can’t move, in pain and just everything is 100 times harder… struggle after struggle. Man, I’d rather struggle in a different direction- towards health and comfort to be able to do more with my life! To stop the daily struggle to just get up or to get dressed with ease! What a journey this is and I wouldn’t change a thing. I am proud of me! I am doing it! I will not back down! I will do this. I have goals and I will accomplish what I set out to do. Even with Epstein Barr syndrome- It is active right now and I am trying to get it down, calm and dormant. I will, I will succeed! One day at a time as Rome wasn’t built in a day! Right? Right!!!!!!!!! It takes a lot of courage and I got it these days! Go Go Go Kat!!!!! -> -> ->
One good thing that happened today? I got my second wind back and nothing is gonna stop me! :0) Much Love to you all!
