I like to move it move it

 I am probably driving everyone that come in contact with me insane. Why, you ask? I've been REALLY getting into Zumba. More specifically Refit Rev. I love their positive vibes! They try to make moves that anyone can do--though I still can't jump because


TLDR: Glass, 51 Stitches, I am a clutz

Sooooo, I'm modifying the jumps out for something a little easier on my wound haha! Today, I thought I would list my favorite videos from youtube. I highly recommend:

1.High Hopes by Panic! 
High energy, super fun, makes me feel a little badass. Can't stop smiling 



2. Hunter, Galantis
Not only is Galantis one of my all time favorites, but this will kick your core's ass. Plus, I really get into it, the shoulder moves make me FEEL like a hunter haha!


3.Aftergold by Big Wild
Another one of my favorites, and can I just say swaaaaag. Don't think you have swag? Do this work out, you will!



4.Rain on Me, Gaga and Grande
I love me some Gaga all the time. This one is deceiving, you're like oh this one is pretty easygoing---then--WHAT IS HAPPENING OH GOD ITS SO FAST




5. Together, Sia

OooOOOhhh can't love me unless you love you toooooOOOooo. Such a good song. This one is all about cardio.



6. No Money, Galantis
I really appreciate the silliness of this one-- but also completely badass choreography.



7. The Greatest, Sia
Again, Sia is a goddess, talk about a song to pump you up! 



8. Never Give Up, Sia
Listen, Sia is my warrior spirit animal. The title says it all! 


9. Rather Be, Clean Bandit
This one took me a couple tries to get the kick thing right looool


10. Flashlight, Hailee Steinfeld
I usually end with this one. It's a little slower but it will have your arms screaming hahaha




So yeah, these are my favorite, the staples I do every day. I throw in a few others here and there--maybe I will make another list one day if there is interest.

As for my update, my body feels great. I can do things I definitely could not a month ago. I am impressing the Drs over at Beth Isreal so that feels AWESOME! I am still trying to control the beast (my short temper) which comes out particularly when I am trying to concentrate... Definitely better but not there yet... But I think everyone is being understanding, and they know I am a good person... Just dealing with losing 200 blood sugar points in a very short amount of time haha! I promise I am trying my hardest though friends!

Aside from that, I'm good! Sending much love!

It's been one week(since you looked at me)

 Great song. ANYWAY wowee people are actually reading this  Well folks, it's been a week since my diagnosis. I essentially dropped my blood sugar levels to HALF of what it was at the Drs. My body feels greaaattt but my mind is catching up a bit. No coffee (trying to stay hydrated) no carbs, no starch, little dairy, little fruit, little corn based products, no soda, no juice. But how do I feel? Like I can move my body better, breathing feels better. I do have to say you really value the taste of your food when you're eating less. It's almost like when you're eating shit, you keep eating because you're never satisfied. Let me be clear, I am eating plenty--just like, an appropriate amount for my situation. I am crushing it. ::I DO MY HAIR TOSS, CHECK MY NAILS:: It just has to continue I know I have a great support system, of all varieties. I have my momma bear friend, who reminds my clumsy ass to tie my shoes (Here's looking at you Nicole) who has always been a gre...

An Unexpected Fear

We can all agree that 2020 was a tough year. For me, it meant growth, confrontation of self. I spent the year reflecting on who I am, what I want, and who I have been, good and bad. I am proud to say that I am stronger than ever, I no longer feel weighed down by my past… Until this Tuesday that is. It’s strange how past trauma can come out of nowhere and just smack you in the face. Mine came out at the Drs office. I went in for an ongoing issue, and came out absolutely terrified.  Now don’t get me wrong, I go to one of the best hospitals in the world, the care is excellent. If you are a woman I am sure you can agree that once you find healthcare professionals you can trust, you hold on for dear life. And I am. I found out I have Diabetes… to clarify, I’ve had pre-diabetes since highschool, and I have been managing it and been doing fine for years. But between a lot of factors including the pandemic, this appears far past the time they would have liked to have started helping me. Th...

Can I give myself a nickname?

Image
 I would like to be called beast.  I am so proud of myself my friends. Where to start?  1. I have lost 30 pounds. 2. I had my 3 month check up with my Dr. Today. My new A1C is 5.9-- that's down from 11.7!!! Here is a graph for reference: 3. She said that if I keep my A1C down till my next Diabetic check up (December) I can start weaning off the Metformin! That's a BIG DEAL friends. She said that I essentially moved myself from deep diabetes to pre diabetes again!  4. I'm seeing REAL progress! I am going to be vulnerable here because I am THAT proud of myself--by sharing a photo I took from the side in July compared to now. The only difference is the first photo is in my undies... But listen I live in a beach town and I see much more revealing outfits on the street than my underwear. I don't really see the big deal to be honest... The difference between underwear and bathing suits- it's just material! Anyway, here's the photo: Look at my legs! Been a busy few wee...
