I am able to accomplish things that would have defeated me before
I easily had no clue just how out of shape I had become. Then I ended up in the doctor’s office getting an IV. Exhaustion had caught up with. I had allowed my level of health and wellness to deteriorate. My doctor told me it was time for a wake up call. While I didn’t have any long term health issues, I had pushed my body to the limit. She strongly urged that I sign up at a health and fitness center as soon as possible. I had been told to prioritize my health and wellness before. I never felt there was room in my schedule for exercise. There are always so many other pressing priorities in my life. I let them all take precedence over my health. I realized how ridiculous this was. That without my health, I wouldn’t be doing anything else. I’m now working with a personal trainer, getting nutritional counseling and taking yoga classes. I have gained a new perspective in life and it has been so beneficial. The change hasn’t been all that easy. It’s been difficult to make time and not give up when I’m sore and tired. After getting rushed to the hospital, however, I knew that I really had no choice. I want to stay active and live a long and healthy life. Working out regularly has changed how I look and feel. I have more energy during the day. I sleep better at night. I enjoy a happier mood and feel strong and fit. I have more confidence now. I am able to accomplish things that would have defeated me before. I also have less aches and pains and better balance and range of motion.
