My husband did our usual rounds this Christmas Eve, his moms in Tracy Ca, then my moms in Stockton and ended up at my Dad's for Christmas Eve dinner. I have been off track with my eating this holiday and really to be honest I really have not been trying to stay on track. I believe it's because eating healthy and clean requires some work in preparation, which means cutting and chopping even juicing which requires me to use my right arm hence irritates the shoulder and what comes with pain...discouragement. (Please refer to my previous entry "Shoulder Injury 2 months later"). Since going to my physical therapist and doing the exersizes just this week, it does seem to be getting better. What does this have to do with "My Merry Christmas"? Absolutely nothing...LOL.
So I walk into my dad's house Christmas Eve, my cousin that I have not seen since June was there and she blurts out how skinny I am in a sarcastic way. I just said "yes but I am healthy". EVERYONE in my family knows what I do, how much I love to exercise and I post what I eat on Facebook. It seems like so many people think that we (us folks that workout) miraculously wake up and are in shape. My husband had to remind me that what they don't know is how hard we work to get fit and healthy. I am not sorry that today I weigh 105lbs and I know I need to work on gaining muscle and I will as soon as my shoulder is all healed. I am so proud of myself today, I look damn good for someone in their 50's. I love you cousin, come on board and join me on my journey to now STAY fit and healthy.
