Right after I posted my last post about "Being sick" of being sick I was diagnosed with a severe bacterial infection in my large intestine which led to a good old visit to the ER, tests, and a lovely round of antibiotics. So my plans of getting healthy were a little thwarted but antibiotics are done, system is healing and all I am battling right now is a little cold which, trust me, is welcomed after the other ridiculousness I had going on since December 31th!
So where are we at? How are your New Years Resolutions panning out? For me I decided to do the Goals 60 Program at Excel which I am so happy about. After all the hoopla I have been through over the last 6 months I am ready to start fresh, reassess, refocus, and move forward. If you haven't had a chance to investigate the Goals 60 Program this is an all-inclusive weight loss program customized and built to support each individual's needs. We train according to our goals which are shared with our trainers. We learn about smart training, nutrition, and information that can help us achieve our goals with full on support from trainers and other members. We are also learning about how our heart rate monitors can be a fantastic training tool which I am so excited to put to use! For me personally (especially after my bouts of illness) I am very keen to get stronger, be healthier, and build energy while balancing family and teaching. Having access to a program like this, working with people I love and admire, is a true blessing. Once I get all my numbers together I will do up a START post filling you in on where my journey is beginning.
In addition to the Goals 60 Program thru Excel, I have decided to do a more detailed check-in with what is going on in my body. I have my first visit with a Naturopath (and Excel member), Dr. Entner, next week at Vero Health. Rather than looking at illness as a inconvenient, bad luck, bound to happen thing I am looking at it as my body is trying to tell me something. Obviously what I am doing is not working since I have been sick now for about a month and a half. Enough is enough! When you have amazing resources around your area plus some coverage thru your health care, there really is no reason not to make a move. I will keep you posted on the progress I make and what discoveries are made.
Things I am hoping to look into regarding my current health are:
-Immune System (healing, building)~chronic illness&fatigue
-Digestive System (healing, performance)
-Anxiety/Stress Management
-Headaches
-Dry Eye(getting fluid back in my eye)
-Allergies (oddly just started reacting to my bulldog JUST on my forearms when I hug her) and how is my body processing certain foods ~ dairy, gluten, etc.
I hope you are able to find support to help you achieve your resolutions! Can't wait to share my progress!
