Each of us is on a journey, whether or not you've identified it or not. A girl from our church, Jessica, is walking the Pacific Mountain trail. Others I know are going to school to change careers after the age of 50. Still others I know are tackling things such as divorce and disease and it was never something they anticipated.
Three weeks ago, I suffered a fall while doing of routine of walking to the restroom. The fall was a hard one. Bruised ribs and a sprained knee are what I walked away with (well, not really because it took two security guards to lift me from the floor).
Realizations upon realizations reminded me that I cannot continue to weigh what I weigh and continue to be healthy or active. This fall has become a turning point for me. After the fall, I drove 1200 miles to make a memorable trip with my daughter and grand-daughter, and then spent 8 days watching my grandchildren. On top of that I received a summer cold like nothing I've ever experienced. Diss-ease is how I would explain the last month in my life.
At the same time my supportive husband came home and told me about a food plan that our Chiropractor is advocating for weight loss. Of course I'm primed and ready. Health is what I'm searching for. Last Thursday I attended the introductory meeting and this Thursday I'll attend my one on one to determine how I can finally remove this 150 lbs. of extra weight.
Stay tuned - I'm excited about being healthy again!
