Wobderful Wednesday


My life changed. For a long time I sat in a whirlwind of confusion. Once I determined what it was I made up a plan. I'm focused on the plan, to live life fully and healthy.  

Today is day 3 of the detox plan. I was very close to quitting yesterday because I was so dizzy at some point that I was going to reach for easy.  But I'm determined. 

I'm looking forward and asking for help when warranted. I'm making it work so I can WERK IT!

HERE'S TO STAYING POSITIVE AND LIVING LIFE FULLY.

Motivation Monday

I'm starting a 28 detox today. There are a few motivating factors but the largest of course is my health.

I went to several doctors and completed many forms while trying to figure out the root of my vertigo. I often felt uneasy, uncomfortable and all those negative emotions. But I felt pride when I would write that my diabetes and high blood pressure were regulated with diet and exercise. THEN I got my internal check voice,"girl you haven't regulated much in this Vertigo whirlwind, we need to get real and moving".

As soon as I got my diagnosis I got to work. Stabalizing, meditating and grounding myself to work with what I got.

I forgive myself for past mistakes, and remind myself of my strength. It is a new day to tackle the goal.

Never give up! Jump on in!

Remain Coachable

I started my blog years ago to share my story and motivate others to reach for their goals no matter the obstacle. My main objective was to get off of diabetes and high blood pressure medication by living a healthy lifestyle. 

I accomplished that goal by loosing 100 pounds and then I experienced other obstacles. The main one that I have been unable to manage is my vertigo. My activity level decreased to zero, and my frustration led to less meal prepping. And then up, up, up went my weight.

I have gone to several doctors, specialists and naturalists. I've gone through several diagnosis and a series of tests. I got the "final" diagnosis yesterday : Menieres Disease. According to conventional medicine  there is no known cure and it is common to worsen with age. Stress and high-sodium trigger vertigo episodes. My doctors plan is for me to take a diuretich and to see him every 3-4 months for a regular check up and management i.e. how it is affecting me with time.

I am more focused on living a long healthy life. Now that there is no more uncertainty about "what is wrong with me?" I can tackle the dis-ease. I will work with what I've got and manage it all as best as I can.

I can do it with holistic methods, clean eating and positive thinking.

Heres to healthy living and never giving up!!!
