We all have our own "AH HA" moments. Mine came last April when I decided to smoke my last Marlboro Light cigarette and to never touch them again. That was the day that catapulted me into a lifestyle of CrossFit, running, and Paleo. All of which I told my husband numerous times that I would never do. I never dreamed that I would be someone that anyone would ever ask diet or exercise advice from, want to go running with, or tell me I inspired them in any way. I feel so blessed to be living a happier and healthier life for myself and my family. I feel even more blessed that people have joined me in my quest to be happy and healthy and have given me so much encouragement along the way. Thank you all for helping me stay focused and successful.
Some changes were big, some changes were small, but all of them have equalled to a life that I could only dream of having a year ago. I go to bed every night thankful for all of the successes and blessings.
My most recent set backs of sciatica for almost 2 months and this Thyrotoxicosis that I have been dealing with seem to be under control again. I am back in the gym and signed up for my first 5K of the year for St. Patty's Day. I am also following a new paleo diet plan that removed some of my staple foods, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, to name a few. This was scary for me and I was nervous about it, but I am getting used to eating different veggies and really enjoying eating more berries. It has decreased my resting heart rate and the weird hot flashes with excessive sweating have disappeared. I have two more months before I will be tested to see if this is really helping, but so far, so good.
I may have a little case of cabin fever too because I am also excited that we are only 8 weeks away from our new CSA pick ups! I cannot wait to have fresh, local food. I am also working on the plans for my herb garden so that we can have fresh herbs in the backyard. Spring can't come quick enough!
