Do you ever have those days where you ask yourself "Who I am?" Well I'm having one today, so I decided to write my thoughts down and see if it would help me answer this question.
Where to begin? Several conversations lately have left me wondering if I am doing what I should be doing with my life. So I have had a few restless nights of sleep, doubted myself and even cried about it and so here I am trying to figure it out. Who I am I?
I am an almost 50 year old woman who is on a journey to be as healthy as I can be. I am a mother of four beautiful adults, ages 27, 25, 22 and 20 and a Gigi to 7 wonderful grandchildren, 4 girls, 3 boys and 1 on the way. I am a wife, a sister, a daughter, a sister in law, a daughter in law, and a mother in law who loves her family with all her heart, although we are not as close as I would like. I've made mistakes and will make more, I am Human.
I work from home, I am a Beachbody coach. I am an empty nester. So, what do I do? Hmmmmmm, I work out! I am addicted. I love the feeling after a workout, it's such a high and I can't get enough of it. I post about it on my social media sites not to brag but to encourage and motivate. I want everyone to know that it doesn't matter how much weight you have to lose or how out of shape you are you can do it too! I share with you what I'm doing and what's working for me, because as a "older" woman going through the changes of life losing weight is not easy but it is doable. I am not perfect, I do have days where I don't eat as well as I would like and I do miss a workout occasionally. Like I said "I'm Human" I am a woman who is very focused on changing my genetics and not having the same health issues that many of my family members face. Watching my dad have several heart attacks and now dealing with diabetes and my mom having Emphysema has made me more determined than ever to do whatever is necessary.
I have always been one to try and see the positives in every situation, so you will not see me sharing my troubles on social media I keep those very close to my heart. Besides we all have troubles and don't need to read about everyone else's on a daily basis. I will share with you pictures of my children and their children, cause let's face it they are adorable. :) If my husband and I go do something fun, I will more than likely share that, but not always. We don't really drink, so no pictures hanging out at the bar having drinks with friends. We do go to the lake and hang out with our friends but I don't take a lot of pictures because it's hard to from the back of a jet sky. We shoot pool, but honestly pictures of that are not real interesting. I like to fish, but don't go much during the summer, Texas heat is hard on the body. So I guess you could say working out is my hobby.
This who I am!!!! Me, no one else,just me! And that really is just enough!
