Let's Do This!!!!!!

Hi,
Today is February 1, 2017.  Today marks the upswing from the last treatment on 1/23.  It also marks the day that I am focusing on eating healthy and exercising.  My body feels like it has aged 15 years just in the last 8 months.  My body will never go back to what it was.  Now, I have no choice but to force myself, like never before, to embrace eating better and exercising.  Don't get me wrong, its not always a struggle to do what is right, but it is a fight, no doubt. 

Today begins a new journey to do what is right.  I am not going to focus on low carb or low calorie plans as I have in the past.  They are either way too high in fat or way too little for me.  My focus will be clean eating.  This will include fruits, vegetables and pork, poultry, fish.  I don't eat red meat and haven't since I was 19 years old. I haven't decided how to deal with ice cream cravings, yet. ha!  Right now, I am not having a craving, so we will count this as good. 

My exercising will include walking and working up to jogging very soon and running soon after that.  My goal is to run a half marathon on April 29th, 2017.  Today, I walked 2.4 miles, did 10 girly push ups, did 2 reps of 15 crunches and only 30 100's, in this case it was 30's (if you don't know what this is, its ok, I'll explain another time)- to build up core strength.  I am on the right track as of this minute.

I look forward to what I write on May 1, 2017. I will tell you one thing, yes it is a struggle, but when I really want something, and I am really fighting for it, I turn to prayer and seek God's help in helping me make the impossible possible.  So reassuring and breathtaking... for someone so unworthy like myself doesn't disqualify me from His love and promise. Boom, drop the mic! He is so Mighty!!!

With that, let's do this!!  I will be posting soon.  CT scan is 2/13.  Will definitely report back for that if not sooner!
