It seemed like my very own story. 4 weeks pregnant and didn't even know I was pregnant. Just to find out the day of miscarriage that I was actually pregnant 😢
This is one of the best things you can ever do for yourself. Seriously. I'm a terrible insomniac and often don't go to bed until after the sun is up. So mornings are anathema to me. Well I ended up with some serious health issues , really serious issues. Serious as in don't make any king term plans. I was a little overweight, depressed, and now on top of the heart conditions the Drs tell me that my kidneys are on their way out, the pancreas is dying too. And then I find out I'm diabetic. But I had the greatest Dr in the world . She looked at the bottom of my feet and declared that she didn't see an expiration date stamped on me so I shouldn't either. She told me to walk. Exactly what you are starting now. She told me that if I can't sleep, go for a walk. Even just around the block. If I'm having a bad day , go for a walk. Having a good day, go for a walk. Whether I'm sad , lonely, manic, giddy, busy. Or not doing anything else... Go for a walk. The first time I tried it I made it uphill to the stop sign at the end of my block. That was as far as I could go. Already the chest pains and tachycardia were kicking in. Totally out of breath when I dragged my sorry butt into the driveway. But I kept at it. A few days later I made it around half the block. In about two weeks I was walking around the whole block. Then I started walking the kids to school a mile away. Then I started walking them home too. Then I had a frustrating morning so after the first walk to school I kept walking... The more you walk , your body will start to expect it. It takes three weeks to make or break a habit. I had a habit of walking now. Before long I was walking a 5k a day. Minimum. The weight slipped off. Suddenly I was back down to a size three, then a two. ... I felt better. I had stamina, I wasn't depressed. And the strangest thing.... I decided that I would choose not to listen to those three other doctors. I went for my insulin dependent and giving myself shots many times a day... To now being on the cusp of not being diabetic anymore. No more insulin. And that was in a year and a half of starting my walking. Three doctors , three different doctors , each told me that I had no more than ten years left to live. The first Dr even said that in front of my 15 year old daughter! Ten years left to live ... Wow, that messed up my head really bad. Walking helped me get it back on semi straight. Those doctors told me that about 13 years ago. Walking will expand your mind as well as your muscles and lungs. You realize that you have determination you forgot you had. You will thank yourself one day for doing this! More power to you !!!❤❤❤
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. This is definitely a motivation. And I will stay consistent because walking the block in 10 minutes wasn't even that bad. I was out of breath, not even halfway, but I will continue.
Skin regimen, because MA’AM 😮 Also: I didn’t even matter I made the rice bowl dinner, the kids just wanted to play, lol. Oh well, more leftovers for me I guess ha ha
