I was really wondering if I was going to post this or not . But I am hoping I can help someone else learn from me .
I look at myself a year ago and see when I started my weightloss journey. How excited I was and realized that I had hit my bottom and wanted to changed. I feel in love with Beachbody , there products and the people and my coach was and still is wonderful. I lost weight working out and drinking shakeology and changing the way I eat . My whole family changed. I had lost 26 lbs and 17 total body inches. I was so happy. Then my live took on some major changes I major move to help my father in law who has cancer . New state , no friends and having to start a new life. 3 surgeries in a year for different things in my life. But some where along the line with all the going on, I stopped doing all the right things and it was hard to cook healthy all the time when my father in law did not like healthy food. So I began to let myself get depressed and unhappy and not work out and not drink my amazing shake. I did not do a lot with Beachbody. How can I sell a product that I am not faithfully using . I know it works and I know the work out programs work . I see it everyday . With Beachbody community,
I had some chats via facebook with my Beachbody Coach and she has dealt with a lot of the same things I have . She made me think . What I need to do. Then today I got the call. My lab work came back. I was scared of this , I have to see Dr. Patti next Thursday. I asked the Nurse Linda what my A1c level was and she said 7.1 . I said shit. I was upset. In April I was at 5.9 off of one of my meds and feeling great . Today I am back at 7.1 and gained 24 lbs back.
I have been thinking these last couple of days that I have to treat this as I do my recovery, I am a recovering addict with almost 22 months clean sober. I know I can not drink or do drugs again or I will die. I have to look at my diabetes, health , fitness as a total lifestyle change for life. I can not stop exercising or eating healthy and think I will be ok, I have to stay that way or I will die of Diabetes, or fatty liver disease or something. It took me a while to hit my bottom with drugs and alcohol, I hit my bottom today with my diabetes and my health.
I am going back to what I do . Drink Shakeology , workout, modify it, walk the dog , eat healthy.
I want to live and be able to do around for a while.
I will find out the read of my results next week. I wanted to share this because people need to hear that it has to be a life style change and we all have to make it . Do not ever give up.
Diabetes, Obesity, and other diseases caused by being overweight we need to make a change.
I hope this helps someone else so they will not have to go through what I did.
I have to keep pushing and pushing my way out of depression and, other areas of my life, to suceed .
I will start with one day at a time .
Thank you for reading
