Today I realized...

Feb 18, 2013

I never updated with my 10 year post op note. I was 10 years out on September 25, 2012.  My divorce was final in July, I have been living on my own since last January. Life is busy and over all good.

I gained about 10 pounds and an autoimmune disorder this year that remains undetermined. I'm more concerned about the autoimmune issues than the pounds, but am cleaning up my diet with some suggestions from my Rheumatologist, with an anti-inflammatory diet. It isn't too far from my "normal" diet, less meat and more fish, lots of veggies and fruits and leafy greens. What I SHOULD have been eating all along. I had a lazy year and haven't exercised as much as I should have been which was the main contributor to the weight gain. Quite a bit of joint and muscle pain. Yoga is good, I go as I I can. I joined a gym again after finding one I can afford and actually paid for some sessions with a trainer. It feels GOOD! to get in there and train, even though I certified as a trainer it is good to have someone else work with me and boost me along :) I have no pride about asking for extra help if I need it.  

Working on my hobbies, photography and cooking, and a couple of related Facebook pages.  check it out and "like" them if you are interested.
