Wellness

Today is day 21 of my AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge. The 24 days takes you through an herbal cleanse and energy boost. I promise you I haven't felt this good in a long time. I'm typically really aware of how I am feeling and what my body is telling me so when I started the challenge it was really easy for me to note the changes that were taking place. Almost instantly I had a higher metabolism, more energy, a better appetite, and my previously incurable palette for sugar and simple carbs has vanished thanks to these amazing Omega-3s! It's crazy what can happen when you put the right nutrients in your body. Also, I started a new workout program that has taken me on a journey of total body workouts five days a week. It's been amazing. I feel like I'm 24....!

What doesn't feel so good though is my back, hips, and knees. I've had to modify a lot of my workouts to eliminate much of the bending and jumping. It just kills my knees. My back; well, there isn't really anything I can do that helps that. The constant pain is just something I've learned to live with. But today it was just too much so I decided to go to the chiropractor. I love going to have adjustments for several reasons: 1) It really helps with the pain 2) I like the noise that bones make when they pop 3) My chiropractor is SO cool. Sadly though, because I had let so much time pass between my adjustments (over a year) the Doc had a lot of work to do and now I'm really sore. I'll go back next week for a follow up and hopefully some of my pain will begin to go away.

I've always been really interested in health and wellness so as I proceed with my daily blogging I will probably be spending a lot of time talking about those two topics. When a person takes charge of their health I think that something so amazing happens inside of them and I love to witness it. I love watching people develop into characters that work hard, struggle, and sweat to physically accomplish something that they never thought they could. I'm toying with the idea of becoming a personal trainer. I need to do some research on it but I think I would really enjoy it.

What do you enjoy helping people accomplish?
