Im On The Rise

Well, Its been a little while since my last post. Let me tell you that a lot has happened since too. Now I am posting a new beginning, still am, though again there was a pause. I just don't get why life just keeps on throwing things into my life which involves pausing the most important parts of me, the parts that make me...ME! Let me get started. So, I finally took the step again to order Shakeology. It has been 10 months, 9 days since my last Shakeology. So, it was an extreme excitement in my life. I was like a child in the candy store. This package came with the Neapolitan flavors. Chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. I have always been a fan of shakeology but will be honest with you. I drank it when I was like starving or something because I would still eat regular food right after. That's is not how it works at all. In fact it equals as a meal. Whether breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack. It is actually well filling and great for you.

The last time I was working out, I had two weeks left. My life got hectic as usual. My daughter graduated 8th grade and was going into high school in the fall and we went on a mini trip to celebrate and when I got back my arthritis in my hip was acting up and finally 3 weeks after it was gone I was working so much. I restarted were I left off but something happened either at work or home that gave me a huge pinch nerve/inflamed disc in my L5-L7. I couldn't walk, let alone move without pain for a month. I was even out from work. Worst long month possible. I wont lie, it took a lot out of me mental, spiritually and physically. I was so depressed but no the depressed as I use to be, I was not over eating or under eating. I was eating horribly at all. I only ate what my body could handle but I did my best to give it healthy choices. I wasn't going to back down even if I was in intense pain for a month. So, it was quiet a long 10 months since the last workout as well. It seemed so long, I thought about it on a daily basis but for some reason my body rejected doing it. To me that's crap. I also ordered a new workout program called 21 Day Fix. I have heard tons of great things about it. However, I wouldn't find out till I restarted and completed T25 alpha and beta. I started shakeology on a Sunday along with the 21 Day Fix meal plan and I was doing great. Loving the idea of eating on a schedule and planning my meals. I looked forward to something. I even did t25 Monday morning with my hubby before going to work. IT was an amazing feeling to do it again, but needs to be reconquered again! I felt so much weight on the right side of my entire leg.

Then on day 3 at night I started feeling not well. The next morning I woke up with the flu that my youngest son had transferred it to e while I took care of it. I couldn't eat or drink with out that want to throw up and pain in my stomach feeling. I had the flu..I was really frustrated. I just started eating healthy and working out and this. I don't know admittedly if I believe in tests quite yet but I want to stay this was some sort of test to see how strong I was and how I react and bounce back. Yes, I wasn't feeling my best by day to but I woke up determined to feel better and I wasn't going to waste time in bed. Though I would say when I am sick I get quite time and time to clear my thoughts. Okay, so I return to work and I am glad. I am little off kilter but ok. And so I want to bring something up that has been on my heart fro a week. It is something that could be talked about a very long time so I will make it quick. I work at a fast food restaurant and I do my walk around to clean up, I see couples out to eat and what do they do... at least 60% of them are eating while typing on the phone on the social network. Isnt eating suppose to be about enjoying quite time and break away from the social norm? I can prove my statistics but I see with my own eyes people eating, sitting down and on their phone, it makes me wonder if this is another way that obesity exists. Yes, logically your suppose sit and enjoy meals but when there is a negative environmental aspect with it, doesn't seem to be the right way to go. But I will say who am I to judge. I unfortunately do the same. This society has made it a norm to sit on social network while eating together instead of eating and communicating as a family.

Its been a week since my whole 21 day fix meal started and rest assure I started over because of the flu bug. Its a new day..

I woke up after only 4 hours of sleep eager to get going. Everything was clean in the house, kids and hubby were fed and ready for the day. Now its me time. I started out with a healthy and smaller breakfast but I haven't realized over the year I am not really a breakfast person anymore. I use to stress about it, but not no more. I eat what my body can like and handle. I wont over do it. Now I am off to start the day...I will you posted. Reminder life throws you curves balls. You can ignore them or hit them with your force and be the best you can be. God Bless!
