Now, I don't usually delve TOO much into my health, aside from the usual heart problems and updates, but I wanted to divulge into detail about how things have changed since I moved. As you all know, my father and I have had some pretty hefty health problems - his more challenging than mine. Once we made the change over the 2014 Christmas holidays, I noticed I had been putting on more weight than need be. I was challenged by my cardiologist and was also deemed 'pre-diabetic' and that I would be a good candidate for insulin at the rate that I was going.
Never, in my life, did I expect to hear such words.
That was me between February and March. And not at a good number.
I started easing off on sweets and soft drinks. Start proportioning my meals and walked and hiked at a trail near me every day.
That is me now. 5 months later and 35 pounds lighter. I don't usually display such pics, but if you could physically see the change in me, I would hope you would understand why I took such pics. I am over the moon and beyond happy with the results so far. Now I'll be a bit more rigorous in my weekly routine and begin weight training and toning.
As for the stories, I haven't left them behind. In fact, every night I have been putting at least a page or two towards my chapters. Now I can't say how many chapters there are because I haven't done that. I am just writing, which I have found rather therapeutic and non-rushed. I will be updating sometime soon, but won't say a date. I do apologize for that. Bear with me as I am now making new arrangements (better ones, I hope) with the change of seasons.
I hope everyone is well and are having their summer fun before school starts agian. How time flies, no? Stay safe and healthy friends!
Much love,
