If you’re on face book and my friend then of course you see me constantly updating my status that I am or have worked out. I’ve since incorporated a change in eating habits to my life style.
For about a year I was experiencing horrible headaches. Doctor after doctor diagnosed me with everything under the sun. Until finally a friend referred me to her doctor who took his time and thoroughly tested and examined me. The culprit was bulging discs that are pinching nerves and causing inflammation. Finally I was able to get treatment now my headaches are few and far between. This brings me to the title of this post. Had I not stayed adamant about my health I would have still been in pain medications that were not working but causing other issues.
Of course during all theses visits to specialists and my dr, I was told that me being this young had blood pressure and cholesterol levels of a person twice my age. And the dreaded WEIGHT... I normally went in and pleaded not to get weighed telling the nurse I was just here a couple of days ago, and when I did get the amount blamed it on the clothes or shoes. (DENIAL). After being told that I could no longer go on neglecting my health this way and hearing my doctor EVERY SINGLE VISIT, I threw up my hands and said lets do this. We did it before, got 75lbs off and kept it off for a few years. I then decided to begin working out because my food intake was not a big problem I thought. I began to work out again on my own. I would ask my friend/trainer Adanzla for advice since she trained me prior to me having to stop because of my pain issues. Lo and behold I started liking the results... I began hearing her in my head telling me not to cheat myself, even adding reps to myself if I stopped before a set was done! I even fell in love with squats and lunges, hurt sooo good. Once I got that together I then decided ok, we can’t work out and eat the way we want, you know it’s not going to work. So I am now on a complete diet over haul. I’m slowly replacing chocolate for fruit, red meat for fish, and chicken with turkey and making sure I get vegetables daily. Honestly guys it’s not bad. ATTENTION LADIES: You are excused when Mother Nature is about to or has made her appearance, I would rather you eat that cupcake then slap your co-worker:0))
