Note: I am a five foot eight and a half tall female. Started this journey at 265 pounds. Now at 235 pounds.
So I had started a new job that had me walking 10k to 18k steps a day. I lost 30 pounds and started feeling so much better. I was eating better, even using tricks like honey sticks to stave off junk food cravings.
But reality hit me hard this week when I couldn’t get out of bed and was reminded harshly that I am partially disabled due to previous injuries to hip and knees as well as long term ankle problems. I had been pushing through the pain for weeks and had to admit the truth. I wasn’t physically capable of the job long term and had to quit. (In addition to mistreatment issues I won’t get into here)
I know I have to re evaluate my goals, my steps, and rest. I have to figure out my next steps. But I wanted to post this and remind all of you of a key thing I clearly forgot...
Don’t get so caught up that you forget to check in with yourself.
If your own proverbial check engine light comes on, don’t just push through. There are times to do that, but there are also times to slow down and evaluate.
I love and look forward to all your updates and look forward to seeing more from all of you. ❤️
Thank you for all of your support, you have helped me so much already.
