Welcome back! I have been unable to share more on my journey this past week due to some medical issues that have complicated my life. I'm better now, just healing. That is what I'm going to share about today.
Without bogging you down with all of the details, I will just share that I spent last weekend in the hospital. I had surgery on Saturday and was released on Sunday afternoon. Thankfully, the infection that I contracted was centralized and seems to be responding well to the surgery and antibiotics. The incision was made just below my chin at the top of my neck. It is closing, but like any other surgery, I have to let my body heal.
The doctors gave me clearance to do light workouts and walking, but make sure to keep an eye on the incision sight. With 2 little ones at home, it is hard to keep it light, but I have given myself permission to take the time I need to get our household back to normal. Unfortunately, that means I had to pause my 21 Day Fix (even with the 3 day break I had in the hospital). My goal is to do my last week starting Sunday. In the mean time, I have decided to take this opportunity to re-evaluate our family's schedule and goals. We are still planning on Country Heat next month, but probably won't be starting until the 2nd week.
As I am continuing in my reading of The Daniel Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life by Pastor Rick Warren, Dr. Daniel Amen and Dr. Mark Hyman, I am also re-evaluating nutritional goals for our household. It is actually really exciting to consider the encouragement toward real, whole foods and feeding our family from scratch at every turn. I have really already been working toward this, so taking these principles on my journey will be taking them to the next level.
Through this time of re-evaluation, I am taking a scale break, but still tracking my food and eating at a caloric deficit. Having the Half Size Me Community behind me to encourage me with sound wisdom has been so helpful, as I tend to want to push myself because I think I'm ready, even if my body is not.
