Thursday Fit Training: What #SweatPink Means To Me #sahm #wahm

Since becoming a Sweat Pink Ambassador, I have been able to be proud in this accomplishment and reflect on this past year.  It was almost a year ago when some of my major health issues started to arise.  After going through a terrible viral and yeast infection, as well as acquiring celiac disease, my body and dietary needs have changed drastically.  It has been very difficult year, especially trying to take care of three young children.
However, the good that has come out from all of this is my reclaim to eating healthy, clean food and exercising regularly.  Through this struggle I have learned to eat foods that are best for my body.  There are times that I wish I could have a bagel or an ice-cream treat, but I know how it will affect my body.  The great part of my diet now is that I have been able to find other gluten free and dairy free foods and recipes that can replace with those other foods.
Another benefit of this year is getting back to exercise.  As a former athlete and fitness enthusiast, not having that in my life over the past few years had been very depressing.  But what has also changed is the type of fitness activities I am able to do now.  Since becoming ill, I have been trying to get back to running again.  However, this seems to be very hard on my body now.  My joints and muscles become very sore for days afterwards as well as nausea.  I have been fighting throughout these past few months because I really want to race the Las Vegas Rock n'Roll Half Marathon in December.  It doesn't look like I will be able to accomplish this goal after talking it through with my naturopathic doctor.  As disappointed as I am, I really need to listen to my body and come to the realization that running may not be the activity for me anymore (or at this time).  My body still seems to be healing.  Instead I have been enjoying other activities such as weight training, yoga, and cardio fitness classes. 
For me, to be a Sweat Pink Ambassador means that I have discovered the best ways to keep my body healthy and happy.  We all have different journeys and struggles in our lives to get to where we are today.  Some of us can relate to each others' stories which is what makes the Sweat Pink Ambassador group so fantastic.  I have learned so much from other ladies in the group and feel honoured to be part of it with them.  I will continue to do my best maintain my new found eat clean, healthy lifestyle.  I am excited for this new part of my life.  I have recently started my Epicure Selections business as an Independent Consultant.  My Open House starts next week.  I can't wait to share with my friends, family and followers how Epicure spices have helped me through this past year with gluten free and dairy free meals.  I hope things will continue to get better!
