The
last year or so has been an unfocused jumble. I have not stuck to a routine
like I should and it has shown.
It
does not matter what label the doctors put on me or whether I am considered to
have issues. First and foremost, I am
me. God made me just the way I am.
What
my family knows is that I need structure and I need to learn discipline. Along
with that, I need to refocus my exercise and dietary needs. When looking at
what needs to be done written in black and white, the realization is that this will
not be a small task. Fixing my diet will not be that hard because we haven’t
strayed too far, the problem areas are the exercise and structure.
I
was in Tae Kwon Do, but I quit last year. I had some problems I needed to work
through and now I don’t want to go back just yet. So, we need to find something
else to replace that structure and exercise.
As
far as my health, my heart is stable. I have a bicuspid aortic valve with
stenosis. Right now it is considered mild stenosis. This is nothing short of a
miracle considering after the surgery for my coarctation we were told I would
probably have to have at least an ablation by the time I was two.
Dietary
wise, I am hypoglycemic and my body does not process any artificial sugars.
This means all natural for me. Plus, I have a few interesting allergies and
sensitivities that make life interesting. Lactose intolerance, red and yellow
dye allergies, and the list gets odder from there.
Here
is to a refocused new year!
