Don't look if you find these pics offensive π¬
Its been a long road from initial injury...to open hip surgery...rehab continuing...epidural steroid into L5-S1...more rehab π¬π¬
For anyone that's had an ongoing injury with no outcome for a long time...you will know what I mean when I say how much it effects you mentally! Its a definite mind screw!!
Which can make everything come crumbling down around you!
I went from training up to 2hrs a day ...to not doing anything every day but dwelling in a big black hole ...starting to emotional eat, negative thinking, pain becoming worse...endless and chronic for 18mths...weight gain made my mind worse because I would emotionally eat more..then feel bad at myself...it was a hamster wheel π³π
And then a friend suggested to me to try a drink..which i had tried 2yrs ago...and i loved!
So three weeks ago I starting drinking this thing called a ketone ..again π£π£π₯π₯π₯π₯
WOW.....to start with my mind started feeling like a sheet of glass....i started to feel more energetic...motivation started returning...i just started feeling better mentally...something I haven't felt in a long time!! Mental clarity is fabulous!
But the best bit is...i am 7kg down in weight!! And thats still with eating whole foods...but it kurbs cravings for krappy refined foods.
The first pic I was 83.3kg...just before my hip flared up 2yrs ago...just before my mind went off the rails...
The second pic on the left was three weeks ago.. then this morning!!
My focus is back!! Its been an enlightening few weeks, but my mind can deal now...ππ
Thanks for messaging me and sharing!
