It's learning, living, and never giving up that matters!
It's learning, living, and never giving up that matters! <3
In this photo, I was SO HAPPY, and Joyful with my life, but I was clueless to the reality I was headed into...
In photo (2011):
- Loved that I am happily married.
- Loved being a mom times 4!!!!
- Loved what I saw in the mirror.
- Loved being blessed by God and family.
- Loved the nonprofit God called us to start.
...and more.
In reality:
- I was everything listed above, but... clueless to a huge life change with the help of God in about 6 months later.
- I never saw or would call my self 'obese', I was plus size.
- I was not 'heavy', I had curves.
- It was not on my radar that I was on a path to any ill health.
6 months later:
- I had gotten sick. Very sick, flu-like. After labs and more, it was clear I had a candida episode.
3 days later:
- I changed my eating - HEALED and side affect was fat loss
- no 'diet' just learn what ingredients were making me sick
18 months later (2013):
- Zero symptoms of Candida, PCOS, IBS, or High BP
- Gained energy, no more achy joints
- Reached high school size, but felt better than ever
- Realized "HOW BIG I WAS in 2011" I has NO CLUE! :(
18 months later (2015):
- Added home fitness that my OUT OF SHAPE body could do
- Feet were in pain from severe bunions
- Kept doing what I could as long as I could
- Maintaining the weight loss too!
2016: two feet surgeries
- worked out in between surgeries
- maintaining weight through eating well
- took off fitness last half of year
2017 Restarted Fitness journey that I started in 2015 #ALLin
- Started and completed 3 programs (y)
- Then fitness burnout
- Then restarted, but just discouraged
- Took weeks off, ate bad for Bday and got sick
TODAY:

- Different realistic personal Plan, Approach
- Increased focus/mindset, and my rules
- Newest program in my streaming fitness (added last week) was SO FUN and DOABLE! Kids had a blast with me!!
Looking back...

- Stay Focused on Health Goal(s)
- Self care is WISE & Responsible (not selfish)
- I have time to do this
