To Recap...

So I think I have now told the majority of my story; at least everything relevant to this journey. Beginning tomorrow I will share my daily successes, struggles and tools used. It's going to be tough but I know I can do it. The end prize is too great, I simply cannot fail!

To recap....

My Goals are:

1. Fix my nutrition 
2. Loose 25 pounds 
3. Drink 8 cups of water per day
4. Shake this terrible survivors guilt 
5. Improve my cardiovascular health
6. Run the Detroit half marathon in October 2012
7. Work out at least 3 times per week
8. Start a family in 2012 (!!!!!!!)
9. Bring Yoga back into my weekly routine (twice per week)
10. Create overall wellness in my life (be truly happy)


My obstacles are:


1. Pernicious Anaemia
          Causing:
                Weight gain (metabolism is affected)
                Zero endurance and stamina
                Dizziness and nausea
                Tired and sleepiness
                Numbness in my hands and feet (very minimal - just short periods of time a day)
                Rapid heart beat (sporadic and only for a few minutes at a time)
                Constant deep breaths (trying to get more oxygen to my cells - uncontrolled)
2. Loss of my cervical spinal curve
3. Survivors guilt


It seems like an impossible journey but I need to try, after all I did make a promise to someone that means a lot to me.......and I will let him rest in peace.


This is me.......creating wellness in my life!
