A Year of Change.........

So this year I have decided to make more of an effort in physical health.  I am going to go to the Gym and see if its for me.  I have a few friends who have gym memberships and attend faithfully.  I started last year to lose weight, first I walked then started to run.  I thought I would hate running but I actually like it.  I was hoping to run in a 5k with my girls but that didn't pan out in 2014.

Taking things one step at a time is what my plan is.  Last year I lost 9 lbs in 9 months.  The medicine I take daily helps to keep the weight on.  I was feeling great, then began to feel so much pain for about 18 hrs after each day I ran.  I went over this with my Oncologist who sent me to a Rheumatologist, yep one more specialist to add to my new collection.  She told me the pain I feel is totally normal and a side effect of the meds I take.  I know feel like I have Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis, but this will all go away once I am done with my meds.....accept in my knees.

So with this new information I sulked for a few days, spoke with a good friend who teaches water aerobics and she told me to join as this would be great for my side effects.  Well, then got busy with Christmas and traveling.

So today I am proclaiming that I will work out at least 3 days a week each week.  This will not be easy for me.  I am in need of help, if you are willing to.  I need you to encourage me, help me, join me.  My dream once JT left for his mission was to lose weight so JT can pick me up when he arrives home.  Well 20 months have gone by and that hasn't happened.  So I am hoping now to just become healthy and a good example for my kids.  I want to do this for me....not for a one day event but for a lifetime.  Being healthy doesn't mean a size 2, it means being healthy.

This year I will try my best to blog about this weekly and be accountable.  As I do this should make it easier and more consistent.

Heres to a New Year.... A Year Of Change.

  1. Amen! I started running last February when my sister challenged me and wanted to run a half marathon with me. I took the challenge, ran with my sister, and still run now. Gordon would ride his bike nexy to me while I trudged long, usually after 6pm! Made for a long dY, but I am so proud of myself!

  2. My ipad froze before I finished. With that being sId, I'll be rooting for you! My motto...one foot in front of the other. I'm not in it to win it, just finish it! And to me...that's a win! Praying for you! Happy New Year!

  3. If your at the gym you can also try an elliptical. My knees don't like running or treadmills but elliptical is fine. Good luck! My best advice is do as little processed food as you can ( your body can only accomplish what it wants with good fuel that it needs) and gradually work on eliminating all sugars and don't fall for that diet sugar trap. It's worse for you. It's poison. It really should not be allowed in food. maybe you've done all this 'cause I'm not up to date. Good luck!
