Where did you go?

So.....I haven't been on in quite a while.

But this doesn't mean that my journey had ended.

For five years and two months now, I have still been consistently working out and making improvements on my nutrition....and I thank God that I had made so much progress when I did.

Why?

Because last year I was diagnosed with Lyme.

This didn't seem like a big deal...  21 days on doxycycline and I felt great!

Ending my treatments coincided with being in a coach test group for one of my favorite programs....which meant I was eating VERY clean with no sugar and limited pasta.

Shortly after my test group (and great results, btw), I started feeling funny.....I was eating ice cream and Lindt chocolates and my health started going downhill....to the point where my husband wondered if I'd be able to return to work when the summer was over.

It turned out the Lyme was not gone....and gluten and sugar were making my symptoms worse.

If I hadn't cleaned up my nutrition prior to this, I don't know that I would have been able to figure out how to navigate this new way of life.....but thank the Lord for some great dessert recipes that use Maple Syrup or fruits for sweeteners.

The battle still continues, but my lifestyle changes prior to this have made things easier than they could have been.

How have you been doing on your health & fitness journey?
