{Motivation}

Lately it seems I have NO motivation to be healthy..you would thing getting this life changing news would whip me into shape..but NO..instead I am so tired all the time that just doing my duties as a mom and wife seem to be enough , the rest of the time I rest..well although it may sound nice I have now gained 15 lbs that I worked so hard this time last year to loose. Worst part I have no bigger clothes in my closet and I have no intentions of buying some yet I have a lack of motivation..

So...(this is where my challenge begins)

We bought a treadmill...why you ask? it is the item you see most on craiglist..ya know when everyone buys one and NEVER uses it and becomes a clothes rack or dust collector.. Yes we thought of that but you see I NEED to walk at least..I am not allowed to do zumba nor weights right now (my fave things) so this was the alternative..I know I could walk outside but hey we moved to the NORTH is snows here and lets be realistic I'm not getting out in the freezing cold to walk...

So to be clear I have a goal..to use my treadmill at least 4 times a week.

By completing my goal I hope to loose the 15 lbs I gained by January (I know I'm crazy its the holidays)

and YOU will make me accountable right?

So I will be posting a weekly update on my "diet and exercise"

If you have any "tips" I would LOVE to hear them!


On another note, I am flying back to Houston in a week and have an appointment with a specialists. I am hoping to get more answers and treatment options other than steroids. I am encouraged and optimistic this is what I need to begin the healing process and hopefully put this disease in remission for a long time.

Finally thank you to all that have emailed me or commented here encouraging words..they are priceless healing :)

motivated,
