I'm in remission. I've learned alot about the importance of having a healthy body over the past few months. Being overweight can cause a number of health issues, plus its a breeding ground for disease. Why get healthy you may ask? I'm in remission. Remission is NOT a cure. It doesn't mean it wont come back. I want to give myself the best possible chance to stay alive and well. I want to have energy to play with my children and to do the activities that I want to do.
Today is day two of my diet. It's not really a "diet" diet. It's more of a portion control and making good choices when eating. I lost a good amount of weight when I was getting chemo and recovering so I don't have as far to go as I would have originally. I call that the Chemo diet. I don't recommend it!
I am down 2 lbs from my starting weight. When I began this I was at 187. My goal is to reach 150. Once I get there, I will set a new goal depending on how I look and feel. Today I was 185 and that made me so happy because I have been over 200 or close to it for the past year.
Anyway, I will update here and post how I'm doing.
About Me
- ashkaitnjakesmom
- I am a 34 year old SAHM to three wonderful children and wife for almost 11 years to my hubby Mark. I am a cancer survivor x2, and I'm living my life to the fullest. Remember to make the most of each day and make sure you tell and show people how much they mean to you becuase you never know if it's the last time you'll see them. I am currently pregnant with #4, a boy. I am also experiencing a relapse in my leukemia. I haven't made final plans for what path we will choose, but the one certainty is that I have to have a transplant. Thankfully I have my brother Andrew who is a complete match as well as this new baby's cord blood when it arrives. I can't have the transplant until after it is born. Please keep us in your prayers. Me, my hubby, my 3 kids, this baby and our whole family. We all need it.
