Trying
I'm trying. At a lot of things...
I'm trying to get back into my healthy lifestyle.
I was a runner. I worked out every day. I ate healthy. I counted my calories and weighed everything I ate. I kept moving.
In July, my sister was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer. Two weeks later, I was diagnosed with a very early stage of breast cancer. Then we both tested positive for BRCA2 gene mutation.

I'm trying to get back into my healthy lifestyle.
I was a runner. I worked out every day. I ate healthy. I counted my calories and weighed everything I ate. I kept moving.
In July, my sister was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer. Two weeks later, I was diagnosed with a very early stage of breast cancer. Then we both tested positive for BRCA2 gene mutation.
Since then, I have been in auto pilot. Just glad to be alive. No joy really, just alive. I'm jealous of the stories of people who went through this and were strong and didn't let it beat them and became a better person because of it. That is not happening with me.
I'm trying, but I sadly admit I am failing.
With more surgeries ahead of me, I need to start to feel normal -whatever that is anymore. So I'm back on Sparkpeople as of 11/26/12. I felt my best when I was sparking every day. So I will start here.
I need so much encouragement in all aspects of my life right now. We'll see how it goes.......
March 7, 2013: Still going! Two surgeries down, one more in June. I still can't exercise due to recovery time, but I get on Spark every day and record what I can and spin the wheel!
Spark friends and teams have been encouraging additions to my life and am so thankful for them all.
So I will keep going and maybe by September, I will be running again :o)
