Well the past few weeks have been a bit of a rollercoaster. Since being diagonised with a heart murmur I have been unable to exercise at the same intensity that I would normally. Hopefully this is just temporary. My echo, ECG and treadmill test have come back normal so now it seems the amemia I have is actually possibly causing the heart murmur. So because my iron is so low it’s placing extra stress on the heart and with a lack of oxygen the heart is pumping abnormally to feed the muscles. So I have another procedure in a couple of weeks to see if anything sinister is going on internally. If not it’s iron injections to boost my levels and then hopefully the murmur will settle down.
I have been eating semi normally for the past few weeks also and it’s not good. I just can’t cope with the foods I used to eat anymore. My body certainly tells me all about it and again it just goes to show, fresh is best! I so know that’s the way to go but sometime I just feel like I’m missing out. Quite ridiculous really when you think about it, missing out, what does that mean? How can eating crap food be considered missing out??? I guess my mind still has some of the old programming left in. So I have made myself accountable for the past few weeks, emailed D my food diary (despite deleting the email several times before finally hitting the send button) and again it’s back on the wagon 100% for this girl.
Good on ya Girl. Keep it real. I SOOOOO know where you are coming from with the whole “missing out” thing and thinking.. it’s a hard habit to break
Keep at it mate
YOU are SO worth it
