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
