Yes, it has been almost 3 months since my last blog post and I have missed you all! The last time I checked in I was telling you about the weird complications of my surgery that I had back in November to remove a benign cyst. Well, long story short, I ended up developing a dangerous blood clot in my arm (actually 2) and was put on heavy blood thinning medicine for a couple of months.
Those who know me know that I am a woman on the go. I am forever training for something, going somewhere, or doing something. Slowing down is not in my vocabulary. However this time was different. The medicine created such fatigue that not only drained me physically, but emotionally. I continued to tell myself that it’s temporary and this too will pass, but when you are so tired, none of that mattered. I also had to deal with the severity of what was going on. I was always reminded that this was dangerous, and thank goodness I was alive since it could of had a different outcome. Facing something so serious really makes you look at things.
Overwhelmed and trying to process doctor appointments and weekly blood tests to check my blood levels, along with work and family responsibilities, I decided to take a break from blogging and writing articles. Though I missed writing, I felt uninspired. I had to let myself ride this wave though this storm. Before I could inspire others, I had to become inspired again.
Good news came a month later when the clots I developed dissolved on their own ahead of schedule (usually takes 2-3 months). I believe that not only medicine helped, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Everyone is so concerned on looking good in clothes, or seeing a specific number on a scale that they forget that eating healthy and being active is also to help you to maintain health. Or if something happens, healthy living can help you recover and heal quicker.
So now with this behind me I am so very grateful that my outcome was not tragic. I am truly blessed and have a different outlook on life and why I am here. I am also going to start to enhance my business based on what I love to do instead of what is the biggest fitness fad at the moment, and from that hopefully help others fall in love with fitness.
So I hope you visit often and read my blog since I am back and better than ever. I am committed to help you be the healthiest you have ever been in 2012. So look forward to video exercise tips, more healthy recipes, running information, and more!
I am also looking for guest bloggers and people who have turned their lives around with living a healthy lifestyle. By Sharing your stories, you can inspire us all!
So until then, B Happy, B Healthy, and always B Fit!
