Over the Hill

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEEEE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Ok, maybe not over the hill but I turned 36 years old today!

As the last year passes I look forward to my new year! My new body, my new spirituality and my new mind.

Okay not all new but hopefully all improved. GOALS for my 36th year of life are:

1) Lose 30lbs
2) Align my Chakra
3) Find a natural way to become pain free
4) Develop more patience
5) Spend more time with my children outside the home.
6) Vacation

I believe all these things are connected to another. Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health is essential to finding a balanced life.

How do each of you find your balance and what are some things you do to find it? Please share!

No More Sitting...

Well I finally got my butt up and out of bed and I worked out! 20-minutes Cardio Jam , and then I did the Lower Body program I designed for myself! I am so excited that I actually did it. I feel good!

Remembering to balance things out I am ready to do some scripture study and then on to housework! I started out slow but I really want to push forward and quit letting doubt, fear and self sabotage get in my way!



No more just sitting here! I am tired of watching my life pass me by. What have been some motivating factors in your life that helped push you forward? Share!

Fatigue

So much of my life has been drained from exhaustion. Doctors want to give you sleep medications and depression medications to keep your "quality" of life stable. How is that quality of life? To be medicated! I began ready this book (shown below) and so far it is making more sense than any doctor I have seen, and I have seen a lot of them. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia...etc. Although some of these diagnosis may be true all of them link together and draw one conclusion....My body,mind & soul are all EXHAUSTED!



This debilitates me at times, kills my productivity and slowly takes hold of me and drags me down! SO, what do I do?

Doctors answers; medication, exercise and diet.

When you are chronically exhausted and have severe muscle pain how likely do you think exercise is going to play a part in my everyday activity? My intentions are so high, I love to be active and I love to exercise...but how?

When I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I changed my eating habits drastically. It did nothing! I do feel a little better when drinking more water and eating more naturally. That is the natural state of any being.

So with diet and exercise playing their part and still no major results am I to revert to medication?

Some days I feel hopeless, other days on top of the world. EVERYDAY I am in pain and I am tired!




Join me on my journey to BEAT exhaustion, become more productive and become pain free!

These are my goals, what are yours?

Its a New Day, Its a New Dawn

No matter what I try I am waking up earlier! I feel that I am getting more accomplished in my day and I like this feeling! A combination of Peach Detox Herbal Tea and an intention of some Yoga/Stretching is my morning thus far. I have some muscle pain this week to overcome. I started this blog in January and I am at the same starting weight as I was then! (Atleast I haven't gained) BUT I do know that my measurements have to be different so I will do those today as well!

This is a NEW DAY!

Now for the first time during this period of twenty-four hours it is time to create ME/YOU!
It is time to set some goals and power through the obstacles to reach those goals. It is time to take charge of MY/YOUR health. Who else can do this for you?

Challenges for this NEW DAY:
1. 30 minutes of low to moderate exercise.
2. Read something positive for at least 15 minutes.
3. Comment on this blog with something inspirational and/or motivating for yourself and others!

Let's Begin the NEW DAY! Good Luck and much love!
