Rising from the ashes

I'm actually surprised that I didn't take a longer hiatus from my health goals, if I was being truly honest. My last post was November 4th. So a little over two months and I'm back at again. Although I fell off the wagon (yet again), coming back is good right? I guess any attempt to get healthy is good, but seriously, when do I say enough is enough and just stick to the process?! 

Since I'm back on the horse, it's time to share my stats. Of course, I've gained quite a bit of weight back since the last time. So here it goes. *takes a deep breath* I'm 193.5 lbs. There, I've said it. Originally I was up at 199 nearing 200 lbs, and I nearly cried. I once promised myself that I would never get up that high again, let alone nearing 190 lbs. And I miserably broke that promise to myself. Which just keeps reminding me of the quote "health is a relationship between you and your body" and how little commitment I have with myself. Ugh.

Well when I was near my ultimate breaking point (almost passing 200 lbs), I felt horrible. Constantly bloating, my period was irregular, no energy for anything, not to mention my awful looking skin. My face broke out all the time, was oily, and just looked so haggard. Just awful. So I decided to do a detox.

I didn't complete the detox (it was a week detox plan), but it served it's purpose. It helped flush out toxins, reset my eating habits, and cleared up my skin (for a moment). Since the detox, and continue good eating habits, dropping close to 7 lbs was an added bonus. Now I'm focusing on getting back into the groove of things and honing on the right inspirations and motivations to keep this process going. Speaking of, take a look at my inspirational wall. 

I'll do a detailed post on this later and if it's been effective. :)

I feel that wanting to be a nurse, I should also be an example of good health. An advocate of health so to speak. Especially if I want to help others, I definitely need to be a good example. 

Well, till next time my little coquis!
