Its time....
This is MY time...
I NEED to do better....

Over the last 3 years I have gone through terrible pain. What I originally thought was hip pain because it hurt everytime I moved my legs. (Turns out it was just my back muscles giving up on life because the pain is still there- but more concemtrated to my lower back. Not the hips!) Grocery shopping was a problem. Getting to the pool was a pain. Just trying to garden would drown me in pain for 3 days. With this, and personal/emotional issues, i gained my 40lbs I had lost plus an extra 20-30lbs. THIS right here is my lowest, I have 0 energy, 0 patience (maybe thats the perimenopause or pms 🤣 but still intense) some days I dont even want to get out of bed!!!
I am bloated from eating gluten when I know what it does to me, same with lavtose!!! Thats how badly I just gave up!!

This week I have showed up for myself more than I have in years. Thinking twice before choosing foods. Prioritizing protein and veggies instead of bad carbs and sugars. Drinking my 3L of water. And trying to get 7h of sleep minimum. This may be harder with summer starting but I will keep trying!

If you have any tricks, cheats etc to offer about food or anything else- I want to hear about them!

I have left my body to rot for almost 3 years. I should have pushed through my anxiety and tears and stress, but I didnt. Some days were just hard to get out of bed and do my mom things.

Now, after gaining 50lbs back... I am determined to get rid of all my aches and pains and get my life back. I am tired of being miserable, and anxious, so here is to at least stretching daily.

I am determined to move daily, whether it is stretching, walking, lifting weights or ice skating. Whatever has me moving daily and feeling better.

Objective... getting stronger and not be in pain daily. If weight loss happens, I will be more than happy obviously, but stronger is the ultimate goal in the long run. I want my life back and want to be an old fit nana! (No! No ones there yet! 🤣)

Anyone ready to start this journey? I am not a beachbody coach so no pressure on what workouts you choose. I will support those who need the support. Yoga, mobility work, weight lifting, walking etc. I dont care. Sometimes its easier to get moving when there is support.
