Back on the market it is! With that comes a huge
responsibility…with me! I’m happy to report that I’m no longer battling with
AS. For reference read “Thank you for my AS” blog post. I’m feeling better,
walking and enjoying normal activities without complications. With this said, I
need to lose weight.
The months I spent with minimal physical activity finally
caught up with me, add to that being unemployed for almost 5 months. I had no
motivation whatsoever to get fit or at least get moving. While living in PR I
tried to go to the gym where I lived and on walks in the afternoon but I wasn’t
enjoying them. My mind was filled with worry and uncertainty to let my body do
anything. Once in NYC I decided to work not only on my body but my mind as
well. I shut down all negative thoughts and distanced myself from negative
energy and people.
With the same motivation and goals as my sister in law
Noemi, we embarked on a healing and nurturing journey. We started to listen to
our bodies and what they needed; we began a work out routine and healthier
eating habit. It’s not about a diet or insane boot camp (although we might do
it), it’s more of a lifestyle! I’ve always enjoyed dancing, biking and doing
anything physical; add to that the will and good company and you are set. So
far I’ve lost almost 10 pounds and feel fantastic, not only do I want to get
back to my goal weight, I want to be fit and disciplined. Soon, we’ll be trying
juicing, that should be really exciting and interesting. Can’t wait!
Check out a before/after shot so far! Stay tuned...
