I am amazing and filled with thanks. Despite hardships, I have much. My world. rumbled in 2020 when my mother died suddenly from glioblastoma -- a fatal form of brain cancer. In my grief, I gained 20 pounds and struggled with Depression (I still do). However, I have my son, my husband, and me. Now that I am over 50, I realize I need to manage my muscle better, so I am upping my protein intake, reducing sugar, increasing resistance and weights in my cardio and reducing calories. This is a slow and steady endeavor, It's about a life change not my typical dive bomb approach. Taking care of me for the sake of all who love me and for my happiness too.
