That's all caught up to me-with a vengeance "(
So.....my early New Year 2013 resolution is starting today:
Accepting that I'm prediabetic,
realizing I don't wanna become diabetic,
have even more health issues then I already have,
& committing to a 3 step healthy lifestyle:
1-whole organic foods ONLY
This has been difficult given my family life-however, we were all doing pretty well-before the Holidays ".
So, back to it, with a renewed commitment!
2-EXERCISE! Ya, not an easy one here. I've made time-for nearly a year now-to go play Volleyball for 2 hours every Tuesday at church, and have had Jeff join me for about 2 months now-SO fun!!!
But-once a week isn't enough to continue to help me be active
So, gonna join Conestoga Park & Rec this month-then we can go swimming, lift weights, take yoga classes,& play Volleyball on Wednesday nights after Scouts/YW......& I'm gonna drag Jeff & the kids with me ;}
3-Rest/Relax/Rejuvenate
This one I don't do enough-although people probably think I do since I end up in bed for days at a time with migraines, vertigo, tinnitus.....that's not the same.
Laying in bed while my brain spins, get squeezed/stabbed/punched,& I get to hear that high pitched tone for hours is NOT relaxing/restful or rejuvenating!
But a yoga class is
As is a self done mani/pedi in my room with door locked & music on ;p
So, to rejuvenate, I will be doing a weekly cleanse, home spa facial,& the above mani/pedi
All of this is going to require self control on my part-to not give up, not give in to pressure from my family to do what they want rather then take a little time to care for ME, & it's gonna take commitment from those who love and care for me to
a-back off
b-be supportive
c-not whine:at the door while I'm relaxing, or calling 20x for something that can wait/or because kids are bickering- while I'm in yoga class, VB, or the gym
&d-do.not.complain.about.what.I.feed.you!!
And yes, that means if we have salad every night for a week, or that we no longer have cow's milk in the fridge, or sweets-NO whining!
It also means my dear Mother needs to not bring over sweets-not even chocolate-for me or the kids. They can get spoiled when they come to your house-but do NoT bring it here-PLEASE! I love my family, which is why I'm doing all this! I want to be alive and HEALTHY in 20 years+
I want to be an active Nanna to my grandbabies some day, I want to be healthy enough to go on missions with my sweet eternal companion, & I want to save all the money that it would cost us for surgeries, medications, Dr/hospital visits from diabetes & the other health issues I have/would develop if I don't do all this
I am excited (& nervous) to do this, but I know it's what is right & needed!
Wish us luck& pray for success!
:)
Happy New Year 2013 everyone!!
