I’m finally able to get back on here. This technology challenged lady somehow locked herself out of my own blog. I have no idea how I did it either. It finally just accepted my same old password.
I have been busy. I mean very busy.
Change to Healthy Journey
I am working on with Salvation Army ringing the bell. I can’t just stand there ringing so I walk back and forth. I’ve even been caught a copy of times dancing. [Well dancing for me] I have it. Now my legs hurt beyond measure. My feet hurt worse. I know my weight doesn’t help this but I know by next year I’ll be able to so much easier with far less pain.
I am still plugging away on First Fitness Nutrition. I love this program because it is easy to do and makes a lot of sense. I am learning how to be healthy. I love how much healthier I feel. I have more energy now. I hate when I have to sit down because my legs need a break. I want to go, do and be active. I love the new me I am becoming.
One of my favorite products right now is the Body FX shakes. I love the tropical crème flavor. I add SF vanilla pudding and man does this shake taste so GOOOOOD! I have an insulated 52oz mug I take this shake with me to work. I make it in the morning with 2 cups of water, the mix and teaspoon of SF vanilla pudding and then fill the blender with ice. It is a good thick shake that travels. This enables me to stay healthy while I am out and about at different places each day and working. It is a great lunch. I pack a small salad of Romaine lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers and mushrooms. I have a shake and a salad for lunch. It is completely healthy. I love it. I can easily have healthy lunch and still be on the program.
Now I want to say something here. This program is not just shakes. Oh no! You have so much food to eat and choose from. You learn so much about healthy choices. Your taste changes and begins to crave the healthy. You prepare so much fresh ingredients and food. Yes the shake is a huge help but it is just one of many tools that help me change my life to healthy.
Great News is I’m losing inches. I’m wearing some blouses I haven’t been able to wear for years. I’m starting to get excited about clothes again.
Panic and Anxiety
I had someone ask me if this still made an appearance in my life. Yes it does. Yes it is an issue in my life. In fact, just yesterday I was working ringing the bell and the store I was working at got super busy. People coming in and out of the store. This store only had one entrance and exit. It got super busy and crowed. I mean crowed! I have never liked crowds. Well I started to feel trapped and wanted away. I hate feeling trapped. Now when ringing the bell I have to keep smiling and greeting people. The shaking helped ring the bell. I just kept ringing the bell. For about an hour I was a nervous and jumping. I just propped myself up against the wall behind me and kept smiling. It was a fake smile but I was still there. I wasn’t running away from the job. I was still there. When the store business slowed down I began to feel better again. I felt like I was going to be alright.
Yes my nerves still get to me. Yes I still do not like this part of me. It drives me crazy. However, I’m learning so much about just accepting this is who I am and I can still have a wonderful life.
