My mother passed away in January of 2024. She suffered years of health struggles linked to her poorly managed Type 2 diabetes. I watched her lose an eye and the ability to walk without a cane. Years ago, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I found myself living in fear. I feared that I would eventually be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes myself.
I am a mother to 3 amazing children. I am determined to live long enough to watch them get married. That is, if they choose to do so.) Have kids of their own, again…that is if they choose to become parents. I want to grow old and be an active older adult. I decided to start weight lifting. I am also running more. I chose to live a healthier lifestyle by eating meals tailored to promote good health.
I will be sharing about my workouts and fitness challenges that I take on. I am now working with a trainer. They are helping me become better familiar with gym equipment. I am also learning how to safely use them. I eat a fairly healthy diet but I still need to reduce processed foods that I eat. I have been working with my family doctor to create a plan that is sustainable for me. I will try to share my progress with you.
