Hello my Sweeties!
( And no .. this wonderfully fit woman is NOT me ! :0/ )
Its been a while since my last real post. Its been craziness! I've been trying to find ways to destress. Some meditation and rest. I've even dug out my old Yoga videos! It all started 2 days before I quit my job ( about a month and a half ago). I had worked in ,what most gals would consider , a man's job. The men who I would consult wouldn't take me seriously because of my gender. Well ... I know not everyone sees woman as a lesser being , but some people do ! And that began to bother me.
Well , like I said , 2 days before I was to quit the stress of being there really got to me. Of course .. I had other stresses.. who doesn't? But for some reason be it complacency ,chauvinism stagnancy , whatever, I began to have heart problems. My heart would have irregular beats and seem to skip beats. It would also maintain its rhythm but in one of the pulses it would be abnormally hard.
Through some testing ...via Holter Monitor, Stress Test , Blood Work , Cardiologists , and so on , we discovered that they weren't much to be worried about . I was told that I have a hypersensitivity to PVC's . Now you'll need to google what that is because its sill Greek to me when it comes to explaining ! lol Oh but you thought we were done??? Ha , not quite....I was also diagnosed with being Lactose and Gluten intolerant! lol Funny enough , I had always thought my husband was . He had shown signs of sensitivities for a while now. So the Doctor has put my husband and I on a vegetarian life style change in order to correct the problem . Nothing like watered down Coconut milk and Gluten free rice cereal ! Oh , and you can't forget my green tea. Yum! Green Tea here I come!!!
Now , we didn't eat that bad to begin with . My mother and I are Amateur Naturalists and Herbalist. And my parents were green before people knew what being green was. lol ...quick story.....I remember being the only kid in 5th grade who took Alfalfa Sprout Sandwiches and granola for lunch ! The kids would all poke fun and there I was , trying to explain the health benefits to them .lol But it wasn't a bad life. I did really well until I moved out of my parents home and began discovering things like ....chips, pizza, mac'n'cheese, pop. Whew buddy !...... Let me tell you ... I got nice and chunky after all that! So now , unfortunately and uncomfortably , I am being punished for my bad food choices and being made to change my life style. Which is not a bad thing!
So , in this case, change is good. I don't make New Years resolutions .To me there is no point because I never stick to them anyway! lol But I do dedicate myself to things. And I have chosen to dedicate myself to 3 things . 1) my walk with Yeshua , 2) my husband , 3 ) our /my health. And so far , I've been impressed. I have retained a lot of what I used to practise and know really well . I just did a little refreshing and picking my mom's brain(lol) !
So the positives. 1) not a serious heart condition, 2) no gluten and lactose ... stomach will feel better, 3) I'll get a whole lot thinner by eating a vegetarian lifestyle.
I'd say that 2012 will be a monumental year for me . I will be expecting big things from G-d. My hope is to further my relationship with Him. See myself through to this new and improved lifestyle, and to have over-all health and happiness.
So Here is to taking one day at a time ..........
