As I close this year out, I look at the progress, lessons, and successes that have gone on this past year. I have lost 47 pounds, 30 inches, seeing my health change in the right direction, and learning how emotionally strong I am. See, this summer my family found out that my younger brother was diagnosed with large B cell lymphnoma. It had spread very quickly and was very aggressive. Through 6 round of chemo (5 days at 24/day, every 3 weeks), we are now going through the bone marrow transplant process - emotionally draining and praying heavily for a clean bill of health - SOON!
With that, my father is progressing in the stages of Alzheimer's and seeing him struggle with confusion, forgetfulness, and feelings of despair breaks my heart.
As life throws curve balls your way, and it will, we all must remain focused on our goals. Mine is to get myself in the best physical health possible. I'm changing things up with the diet - I'm still doing Weight Watchers, but doing ALL PLANT BASED eating. So, pretty much going vegan. From the documentaries that I've been watching, testimonials, and data, I can't help but wonder if my health, sleep, energy improve going this route. I will be posting WEEKLY of recipes that I have tried and found great (I have an 8 year old boy to help be my taste tester), easy, and inexpensive to make. I will also post my progress with photos, measurements, and stats on energy and sleep changes.
ALSO, I will be competing in my VERY FIRST MARATHON Dec. 8, 2019!!! That's right, CIM (California International Marathon) in Sacramento... I'm coming for YOU!!!
I would love to hear from you and if there is ANYTHING that I can do or post to help you in your journey, PLEASE TELL ME! I would love to go alongside you in your journey to better health!
