I was spiritual back when folks thought it was weird….😔

Before and after pics of what 5 years of making your health a priority looks like.

My biggest regret is not starting sooner.
Please don’t wait.
Tomorrow isn’t promised for any of us…. 💕☀️

I was a 41 year old disabled veteran with heart/kidney/liver issues, sleep apnea, low thyroid, high blood pressure and morbidly obese.

I was misdiagnosed, had already had over a dozen major surgeries due to injuries (3 MVAs with first while driving ambulance in the Navy) and been on a plethora of pain and psych meds for over a decade.

Had I continued with “Doctors’s orders”, I wouldn’t be here today to write this post…💯💯💯

Listen to your intuition when it comes to YOUR body. Remember these professionals only PRACTICE medicine. Advocate for your health. Get second opinions.

Those that know me personally, know that the move to NC 3 years ago were due to several reasons. My health (and needing access to better medical services that what my hometown could offer) was a huge factor behind this.

Slow and steady wins the race y’all.

I’m still currently seeing Neuro for some health issues. But what was once blamed on, “If you’d just lose some of your weight…”, is now being taken seriously and I’m not being dismissed and just handed another script.

Natural healing is possible.
But it’s not easy.
Popping pills is easy.

Military medic @ age 18: * Hands out Motrin * like Tic Tacs…”Back to work!”
Why do I have the liver of an alcoholic at 40?
I was the DD y’all!! 🙄

Bc who gets paid if we’re sick??
…. Exactly…☠️

Put in the work for a healthier “YOU”!
Fitness is 80% of what we put into our bodies and 20% of how we move it.
Eat cleaner.
Cook your own food.
Take that walk.
Baby steps count.
Start YouTube yoga at home.
Two years later, tell your anxiety to eff off and go in person!
STOP WAITING!!
Try a Zumba class.
Pray for your damn knees to recover! 😂
Go back intermittently.
Sign up for a free Pilates class.
Holy s**t! You CAN do it now!
Call pain management and start physical therapy.
Recover.
Keep going!
Remind yourself that backing up is not the same as quitting….
Give yourself grace.
Breathe…
Practice mindfulness.
Have gratitude.

I promise healthy will look beautiful on you.
Start today.
And just.. keep.. going.

🦋

Stop staying stuck. You can evolve.
Become your own damn superhero!

Be the girl who got away and got her life together.

You ever get so forgetful that you forgot you already thought ahead??? Then become grateful bc you stay ready??
🙄🫠😂🫡
Gratitude and blessings pouring in right now…💕🌻

Know your worth…👑

Eclipse vibes have folks feeling anxious & exhausted bc the Solar energies are off the 📊.
Get outside. Ground. Meditate. Lots of self-care.
Release what no longer serves you and know this too shall pass.😘🙏💗
