One day I woke up and I was 40ish with a growing belly, jiggly legs and crows feet. Ugh, so depressing but hey, who's to blame? I was busy - had too many things to do. Career, family, school, on and on. I had time for everything except taking care of myself. Instead of going to the gym after work I'd come home and drink wine. Ahhhh - self medication. I deserved that glass, it was a stressful day. Before I knew it I looked haggard, unfit and pretty much felt sluggish and crappy.
Most of my life I've been quite healthy. I've exercised most of the time, I tend to eat well, rest plenty and pretty much just enjoy life. Like everyone, I've gone through spells when I fall off the wagon for a short time but all in all, I try to live a healthy lifestyle.
However, once I got into my 40's, regardless of the relatively clean living, this wacky body was not what I was expecting. I mean, I obviously knew that "some day" I would age, but when I looked in the mirror that one day and saw it had already started to happen to me, I was shocked and extremely displeased with these changes.
So, I decided that I was going to invest the time and energy necessary to create the best me that I can be. Who says I have to be frumpy and wrinkly and just accept it? Nonsense! I refuse to accept the fete that just handed to me - instead I'll work like mad to be the best I've ever been.
I hope you will enjoy my learnings and along the way implement a few things that will help you be the absolute best you can be too. In this blog I will write about food, gluten-free living, wellness (acupuncture, massage, herbal remedies, food for health), exercise, and products or services that meet my "most awesome" seal of approval.
I love feedback - I look forward to hearing from you.
Melissa
