Starting again...and again...and again.

Being healthy is a long journey for me. One that has been filled with starts and stops. I recently spent 7 weeks living away from home while my son fought for his life. He is a 20 year old man who had to have his fourth open heart surgery because of a heart infection. It was an incredibly hard time filled with paralyzing fear, anger, sadness. I spent the entire time sitting by his bed...no exercise...very little eating healthy. Now that his is finally well enough to return to our home in Sparks NV I need to start reclaiming my life. A huge part of that is claiming my fitness. I will spend today stocking my kitchen with lots of clean eating options so that I am ready to return to work Monday. I will visit the gym and get an idea of my starting point there as well. I will take time to breath...look at the flowers that are outside...sit in the sunshine for an hour. I need to embrace life. I was just given the reminder of how incredibly precious life is and I intend to be grateful for every minute.

I would love to connect with people who are committed to healthy eating and living; people who want to try new things, taste new food, and exercise every day. I will be checking in daily...I am making that commitment to myself and others. I will be logging my food...good or bad...and tracking my exercise. I can be a very motivating partner to others but really need the same in return. If you would like to join me on my journey to embrace every opportunity to enjoy life...friend me! Can't wait to get started.
