Awesome Sauce

Good Afternoon Lovelies!

I had to write and give you a quick little update post my medical diagnosis.

I've been eating a low carb diet and have been taking a medication to help my body use the insulin it makes to begin breaking down what I eat, and what I've stored.  I've lost a little over 5 lbs since my last post.  Doesn't sound like much... but it feels really good.

More than that... I feel really good.  For the first time in my life I wake up with energy and I have energy all day.  The first day I really noticed was the day I put my Christmas decorations up.  I went shopping, spent all day putting decorations up, cleaned, ran around with my mom... and didn't get tired until I went to bed at 11pm that night.  IT WAS AMAZING. Having lived in a constant state of exhaustion... it was a really incredible feeling.

What a difference!

Today was the first day I did T25 since the diagnosis and medication too.  I'm amazed again.  I had energy before, during, and now after!  I feel like I'm on cloud 9.  I'm buzzed, and frankly, ready to workout AGAIN.  I'm thinking I might go Zumba for an hour or so.  I feel SO good!  I can honestly say I have NEVER felt like this after a workout.  I'm usually exhausted and can barely exert the effort to shower.

I am amazed.

OH!  By the way, my husband and I bought new Cross Trainers from New Balance to wear when we work out... and they are THE SH*T.

Here is the website for the women's version that I have.

I bought a wide pair since I have sasquatch feet.  They're uber comfortable, have good support, and are light as a feather!

I'll keep you all updated as I progress.

And one more thing...

It's the Christmas Season, and I feel an overwhelming amount of love and thankfulness for the support and love you all have given me since I started this journey.

May God bless you, your families, and your friends with health, safety, and joy this Holiday Season!

Much Love,

Mychal
