7 years ago: Happy and Clueless

Image
We gave birth to our fourth child seven years ago. I was happy as can be and so clueless. There were no signs of ill health or issues. Ok maybe just borderline high blood pressure but over all labs were good. Now my weight was high but that was never a big deal to me. I have often ignore the charts because of built muscle when I was an athlete.  Our first photo with our fourth child was exciting!  In about 8 months after her birth, I was going to be so sick that it would literally change my life. I was down and out for 2 days and realized I cannot do THAT ever again with 4 kids, husband, and a non profit to run in addition to being responsible for a large association and it's annual conference. Living and working are two things I really like to do and these cannot happen if I am sick!  Insert eating change here. From Junk, Fast, and Processed foods to Real, Whole, Clean foods! TAH DAH! I would have NEVER believed this if I di...

Bunion Surgery Anniversary

Image
2 years ago. Bunionectomy-versary.  😂 So glad I did it. Blessed it was possible. I'll never forget my mom taking me to a podiatrist when I was in grade school and hearing the doctor explain the invasive surgery, and doing both feet at once was best to do during the summer. Well for our family resources at the time, that wasn't an option. So, then I very clearly remember the doctor saying, "then get the surgery when it hurts to walk" because I will need surgery eventually. In 2013, I started to have pain. In 2015, it hurt to stand and walk, daily. January 2016, my right foot was operated on using the invasive surgery because of how severe my bunion was to fix. The surgery took extra time because of the damage, my surgeon told my husband. 6 weeks no weight bearing. 2 weeks in a boot 5 weeks therapy that failed at one company 4 weeks physical therapy at new company to undo poor therapy at previous place and try to get my foot where it needed to be. A...

It's about HEALTH, not SIZE

  Transformation. Take care of you! Increase Quality of Life though the simplest lifestyle changes that we are so resistant to change because of comfort zone, routine, and familiarity. I know I struggled to change, which is why I would YO-YO, or succeed on a fad plan and then go back to my old ways and basically go back to my old size. Low-Fat, Low-Calorie, Low-Carb, and more, I've done many... lost...felt great.. then went back to old ways, therefore went back to old health/size. Change to positive behavior, see positive change. Stop a positive behavior, stop positive chanage. Am I the only one that had two set of clothes for those exact times? Smaller for successful weight loss and then bigger clothes for the backslide, which was usually winter season for me. Maybe just me. So I had to change mindset and get REAL. In 2010, I worked on my mindset for changes and WHY I wanted to reach certain health goals. In 2011, God opened the door for change and I was more r...
