Most days are spent thinking please make it stop!!
I used to lead a complicated life, raising three kids, engaged to a wonderful man, going to school full time, work, plus all the things that no one mentions that fall into those categories. There were never enough hours in the day for all that needed to be done. I never got enough sleep, never seemed to completely finish my school work, or have enough time with my kids or Rod. I was stressed out, run down, exhausted and still i kept pushing forward. This all came to an abrupt halt almost 3 months ago when at 38 I had a heart attack. It was scary, painful, something I would not wish on my worst enemy. I was told that if I expected to live I had to change my life. I was told I had damaged my heart and that I would always be at risk for another heart attack. I was told I would have to live with coronary heart disease the rest of my life. I stopped smoking, drinking soda's and decided I was going to change my life style. It really only began there, while my diet was changed, I was told to be more active, and I try honestly I do. I have good days and bad, the bad out shadow the good and it leaves me in a foggy funk. I am on blood thinners, blood pressure and cholesterol medications for what the doctors say will be probably for the rest of my life. My blood pressure medications slows down my heart rate a side effect of this is that I fight fatigue all day every day. My cholesterol medications causes my muscles and joints to ache and hurt. My feet throb most days and it gets to be an unbearable pain that I just want to stop. I weigh the good and the bad, going off my medications will relieve these symptoms but will I make it to my sons graduation in June? Will I make it the next six months without what has been labeled as my life saving medications. I needed a change and not just weight loss, but also energy levels and I wanted to get out of this funk I find myself in most days. I want to have the energy to work out, or even just go to the store. I am tired of being out of breath just from getting dressed. I took matters into my own hands today and took a big step. I ordered what is commonly known as "The Pink Drink" I have read so many testimonials about how it has boosted energy, promoted weight loss, and changed peoples lives. It could not hurt to try, Rod tells me to stick to my guns and follow through. I will be posting throughout my journey the highs and lows as I take this Plexus ride and see where we end up on the others side. http://rebeccalrogers.myplexusproducts.com/
