A U G U S T 24 , 2025
Today is day one .
Time to unveil my next projects that will allow me to
achieve the next projects etc......
This first one is personal.
I never thought that I had anything to offer others in my
search for wellness.
This, weight is always tied to shame or guilt.
But this time it is not.
There is not shame when you have spent the last 6 months focused upon
what made you that way.
I am eating well, sleeping well but I am overweight by a few.
That is causing my inflammation to skyrocket.
It causes all sorts of things to happen.
My nasal polyps grow, my joints ache and I feel like garbage.
and all I have to do is get back into metabolic health.
I did purchase a Hume scale for my birthday which measures
not just weight but muscle mass, fat deposits, mineral health and a load of
other things like chronic dehydration.
It has been a game changer.
Here is the link:
If you are a fact and information person like me you will appreciate
the many metrics that it gives you.
If you have some weird feelings about weight in general
I suggest that you do the *inside work* on yourself before
using a device that may hyper fixate you on that one thing.
I tend to amass muscle quickly and way before I lose fat
as I start to move more. In the past I became discouraged
at my slow results. With this scale I can see my muscle mass %
go up as my body fat % decreases.
Just a tool that works for me.
Let me start at the beginning....
Many years ago....
I transformed my body.
I had an anaphylaxis situation where I almost died.
( the reason was quickly found but the damage had
been done. My body turned upon itself in weird ways
one being allergies to things I had not been allergic to prior)
The Dr.'s and I tried to figure out what was triggering those attacks.
Wheat. ( I was tested for this plus my father had a mild wheat
allergy with his asthma) But I was scared navigating a new world where there
is wheat in the most bizarre things.
So I ate meat, veggies and some fruit.
My stress from this and what my husband was dealing with
( a poor cancer diagnosis) led me to start running ( sprinting , jogging & walking)
2X a day while fasting out of stress.
Being outside in the sunshine, running was my mental health at the time.
I was also working nonstop every weekend, Spring show runs, a Summer show,
and 7-8 weekend in the fall...training in the weeks before & weekday charity appearances.
I lost 90 pounds in 3 1/2 months.
It was not hard, I just was intermittent fasting, doing HIIT ( or a form of)
eating raw ,local, fresh foods ( raw because wheat is found in many preservatives ).
I was outdoors in every kind of weather.
and I was in the very best shape .
Fast forward to 5 years ago when I stopped running
( my idiot Dr. said even someone passing by in a car could give me covid)
moved to a rural new town, stopped eating well...
& baking wheat free treats that caused my joints to start to hurt.
Also, I could not work at all at what I so loved to do.
( that is for another post)
Then I fell twice, ripping out my left knee and breaking a rib.
I was in bad shape. I vowed to work my way back.
I would, but I would still be creaky, still sore, still
feel less than my best.
In January I promised myself to not just create a program to heal myself,
but to get myself back to where I was when I moved here.
God had other plans...as He always does and instead had me
work on my inside instead, healing years of barriers created
that I no longer needed and throwing out other peoples
weight that I was carrying.
Here we are in August.
Yes, I fell at the beginning of the month and tore out both knees
again ( to be fair since I was 12 my knees have suffered
from me being wild and also my knees have only one side to
the patella area. If I fall or twist , they blow out that side.
Meniscus tears, patella fractures....
bless my poor knees & what I have put them through!)
Now, I am weeks into rehabbing them and also implementing
a new ( old & tested) healing plan.
Sunlight + ketosis + intermittent fasting + HIIT + healing sleep cycles.
Equals what I was doing years ago.
I had the magic recipe back then without even knowing it.
I am now working with a functional Dr. to implement it again.
It is said that once implemented that this can remove inflammatory disease
anywhere in the body. It will give you energy. It will even reverse age you.
Don't believe me?
This was me before I did this program:
 |
| 2003 |
 |
| 2017 ( ?) |
First lesson:
The sun.
It is not the enemy.
First thing in the am and last thing before sunset hang out in it.
It is way more healing than we have been led to believe.
You will sleep better... I promise.
( ever wonder why animals seek that small shaft of light to lie down in?)
**********
sun
(am & evening- chicken in & out time)
sleep
( 8 solid with 3 or more rem cycles)
intermittent fasting
( for me right now...18 hours 3-4x week)
move
( hardest part... HIIT 2x day paired with knee rehab)
feast on clean food
( easy, it is the best season for raw milk, honey, veggies & fruits
and local meats & fish)
Keeping my mindset correct means low internet junk and
focusing on my priorities:
God
( just started a new work book)
Health
Family
Everything else.
It also means being open to changes and replying on my faith
when things go sideways.
I have a smaller circle now....and they are my lights.
I am so grateful for them & for you all!
Mother Nature wants to heal you.
Let her.
