6 week hardcore workout break;
I really wrestled with deciding to write this blog post. On one hand, I have always been an open book with my healthy peeps. On the other hand, I have also dealt with hardcore judgement. After having a few healthy peeps checking in to see if I want to run this week I have decided to go full disclosure lol.
If you are easily offended stop reading now...
Two weeks ago I traveled to San Diego and had a breast lift with augmentation. 200+ of weight loss doesn't do much for the appearance of breasts FYI. It is the one area most negatively effected by weight loss and given that the breast tissue is all fat they generally sacrifice themselves in weight loss.
You know when you inflate a balloon and a week later let the air out. It has already been stretched out and despite you letting the air out it still doesn't go back into shape. I am sure you recognize my breasts are the balloons in this analogy. I am 34 years old and as much as I am all about self acceptance and working hard to be the best version of me there was no improving this one part on my own. I did a lot of research and found the best for me surgeon.
Monday will be two weeks post op so I can get outside walking, I will then gradually increase speed and distance. I have one month until I can run and then I only have six weeks to train for a half marathon. I will cross the finish line but not with a pr. Nevertheless, I am excited to get back into it!
I am healing well and my new boobs are looking great if I do say so myself LOL! I just wanted you guys to know I am still in the game if you miss my run posts or workout videos. Whatever I lack in workout posts I assure you I will make up for in healthy food posts!!! :)
Christmas Spirit;
Every year I up my giving game for the holidays... Last year I did random acts of kindness every day and posted them. What does this have to do with health? well, lets call it well-being or soul health if you will. Anyway, someone had sent me a nasty message about how I was looking for attention for giving and how wrong that is. I stopped posting. I let that one negative message overpower the many kind messages I had received. I am a sharer. I don't sugarcoat a bad day, I am not a perfect parent (or wife, or friend, or trainer, or...), I get road rage (too often), I struggle with motivation occasionally too. We are all in this short life together for such a small amount of time. Why not be authentic? Why not give when you can? Share ideas, tips, motivation and truth. That is who I aim to be.
On that note; Some of my random acts lately are; Paying for the order before me, donating to a school in Africa, collecting items for a sick mom, filling stockings for underprivileged children, crossing the boarder into Mexico and shopping for sick kids staying at an underfunded hospital (both the most awesome and most awful experience I have ever had), buying a meal for a poor family, treating all my nurses to gifts of appreciation, giving items to a needy family rather than selling them. I share because when my friends share their great ideas with me it inspires me to do better and in the end that's what I believe life is all about.
XO,
Di
