- by providing myself good fuel
- Exercise everyday
- water
- rest š
- enjoy family & friendships
- continue to trust myself
Itās been a long time since I have been in Dazzling Diva mode. Its tough being a middle aged menopausal woman. Hormones are wild, unbalanced and they effect everything about ourselves.
Over 12 months ago i went off HRT and developed wrist problems not long after that. I had
Rsi, carpal tunnel and arthritis mostly from my work. The pain is chronic but manageable.
I stopped exercise other than a walk here or there.
I have just eaten whatever ive felt like.
I dont drink alcohol and havent for over 4 years so that wasnt an issue.
I wasnt hard on myself for a change. I thought my body deserved to be in a good paddock for a while to rest.
I have now just started back at the gym with Julie Mckay over the last couple of weeks ever so slowly. I have to start from scratch again which is fine, challenge accepted. What i love though is since ive been gone all that time, the ladies there have worked so hard to get strong. They are all inspiring š Jess Ange Grace Teenie
Im home š©· its great
Jules is incredibly knowledgeable at what she does. I trust her and i know she can help me soldier on through this injury like I have the others.
Here are my pics of before(now)
and I will post my afters.
Im around 10-12 kilos heavier than where i feel at my healthiest.
I used to feel nervy posting b4 pics. I donāt anymore. We are who we are. Iāve been morbidly obese and Iāve been @ 12%body fat. I havenāt changed who I am. Iāve only just started to grow the confidence to be who I am.
I post on this page because it helps me stay accountable and if I can help anyone else on their journey then I will.
