New year's resolution!

It feels like forever since the last time I posted something on here. I have thought of a million posts to write over the past month and a half but never really took the time to actually sit and write them out.

 Where to start?

With the new year, came new resolutions and goals for our family and for myself to accomplish and reach.
The most important one I would say is my goal of being a healthier  me.

Over the years, I have struggled with my weight. Growing up I always was such an active person, going on bike rides for hours at the time, doing boxing and kickboxing, playing sport at school, running few kilometers as a family on the beach, the track or the road, fully active, always walking everywhere, and it was taking away from me when I turned 20. Being diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis (R.A as we call it) at such a young age has shook me really badly and I started packing the weight on when I moved here. I could barely walk and even brush my own hair, I had no friends, no family. Depression hit me! I found comfort in eating. My weight went up and down (mostly up) and I became comfortable with the way I looked. Even though I always tried my best in doing as much as I could despite the painful life I was now living, I never really did anything serious about my weight gain. Like I said, I was too comfortable!

In 2011, I was expecting my first baby! I knew I had to do and be  my best for him. I wanted to be an active mom (despite the R.A). The pain was bearable during the pregnancy, and in January 2012, my baby came and so did the pain. Instead of being able to be a healthier me, depression hit me again (I will write a post about it. ), and pregnancy number two was on its way. My weight went up and up and up while expecting my second son, and stuck around. The R.A pain was incredibly high, and for the first time I thought I wouldn't be able to cope with it like I have done in the past 14 years.

However, my friend started offering/selling the Vemma formula, and I knew I had to try it. Am I ever glad I did. From the first time I took it, it had rocked my world and changed it for the best. I was able to enjoy summer with my boys and be as active as can be. I enjoyed walks with my family and friends and for the first time ever in a long time, I was living an almost pain free life. I decided to do something about my weight now that I was "active" again. With a few tips and help from my friend, I started to eat better and started exercising on my own

I couldn't be happier with the life I have now and the blessing I have received. I am not about to throw away this second chance of an active me. I may not be living a 100% pain free life but I sure am doing my best to kick my R.A's butt.
