So you haven’t heard from me in a while… I have my reasons. At the top of that list is my recent appointment at a little place called MDA or, more commonly known as, MD Anderson: one of our nation’s top cancer treatment and cancer research facilities… Now, brain cancer is (kinda) a thing of the past. Medically speaking I will always have it. There is no remission. However, my tumor is gone and no cancerous/suspicious activity seems to be going on inside this little head of mine. Great news! Only, there are no guarantees. Each visit could reveal something new; something wrong. Which brings me to another reason you haven’t heard from me.
Weight gain. BAD weight gain. Like six pounds of weight gain. Easy to do when you’re stress eating. Easy indeed. Ugggh. It’s so frustrating. I am my own worst enemy. It all started at Easter when I allowed myself to have sugar again… bad idea. That tiny confection concession led to a myriad of other bad choices. Before I knew it I was no longer exercising and just decided to go on a weight loss break until my MRI and neuro-oncologist visits were over. Bad idea.
I lost focus. Food is not a comfort. Watching what you eat is not about the waist line. It’s 100% about being healthy in a way that is sustainable. Period. End of story.
I need my focus back. I have to fight to stay in those size 6 jeans (…. to get back in them, rather.) I am beyond tired of taking one step forward and two steps back. I’ve seen what that side looks like, and I’ve come too far.
My rowing machine shows up in 2 days. Expect a post on Friday after an amazing workout
