Overcoming challenges and making another comeback

 Hello, warriors

I have been sidelined for a few weeks after I suffered an overuse tendon issue in my right wrist/thumb.

The past 6 months have been a challenge. I strained my lower back in September and then I injured my right wrist/thumb the end of January.  

I have basically sabotaged myself and my diet and have put back on the weight I lost last year. I certainly did not practice regret prevention and have put myself back in nearly same spot I was in last year at this time. I am so disappointed in myself. Some days I just feel like giving up. 

But, I will never give up. 

I've done some researching and found that maybe my body has been in a state of under-hydration and has possibly contributed to the tendon issues in my wrist. So I'm going to experiment with drinking some "electrolyte water". (Potassium/sodium). Hoping that will help hydrate my joints and tendons better and also aid in physical recovery from my job(which is physical and repetitive in nature on many of my joints) and even workouts in gym. 

I try to get in a daily short walk with our doggy. 

But am ready to get back into the gym and get focused on my diet and really learn from my many years of inconsistencies and mistakes. 

My husband and I are planning a road trip beach(Virginia Beach) vacation for Memorial Day weekend (end of May) and I need to get a much better looking beach body. 

Stay tuned for what's to come. I will try to continue posting, and remaining open and vulnerable with my ups and downs.  This is not a straight line journey, certainly as I am entering the world of peri-menopause/menopause.
