In October of 2020 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. If you've been following me on my online Facebook group Hibody Support you may know a bit about what I'm going to share. It seems like just yesterday, Laying on that bed for the third time you might think I would be more prepared. No, I was afraid. My heart was beating so fast and baby Luke was being evicted from the womb. I knew it was time to push I knew the end was near. I laid there with my legs spread high and wide. I didn't care about the nurses or the doctor in the room. I just remember screaming to God asking for help because at that very moment I was sure that if the pain continued I would die.
One BIG push later and the miracle was born (yes I'm paraphrasing Encanto lol). It was a glorious moment indeed and one that may have marked my third and final pregnancy.
I waddled out of that hospital about a week later. I thought I would go back to my regular life...Yes, I know that's impossible. I'm not a first time mom...But what can I say other than I was aiming to overachieve lol. Well that backfired.
Remember I mentioned I had a baby 10/2020. It was a nerve wrecking time. Pandemic news was on every channel. My two older children had to be homeschooled, I had a new born, a busy business schedule. I stoped taking care of myself properly.
My lifestyle changed in so many ways. Now, I was a stay at home mother, teacher, business owner, wife, housecleaner, chef, business mentor....omg I was overwhelmed. The only thing that didn't change was that I tried my best to continue using some supplements.
I was breastfeeding my youngest so I was limited as to what I could take. I would take my Digestive supplements. I would drink the Hilife multivitamin, I would drink the hi coffee and Krill. That all helped me a bunch. But I have to be honest with you my readers and friends...I got so overwhelmed with life that even my good habits failed. My activity dropped ...I was using less calories and spending way to much time visiting my fridge. Mi mejor amiga. I even got better at cooking. I wasn't moving much because of how overwhelmed I was with obligations. Oh and my back was hurting terribly all of the time. It was horrible. I'll tell you about my journey with Scoliosis some other time.
Oh yea...I ended up getting covid...That's another story. I have lots to share.
Anyway, I gained weight. I was starting to experience post partum depression. But I did what I knew to do best. I buried myself in occupations. I didn't know how to help myself.
Has that every happened to you? Have you ever felt so overwhelmed by the circumstance that it's easier to run into it. I was an ostrich with my neck buried in the fridge.
August 2021 I decided that this could not continue. I had to make a decision a big DECISION. I could continue down the path that would absolutely lead to destruction or I could face it. My back still hurt the same way...My responsibilities had not changed but I HAD to make a change. I HAD to make a loving choice for myself.
I started with one thing: Taking my supplements daily.
The TG green juice was new and easy for me to drink. I really like it and it was one simple change I could commit to.
Then I took a second step I hired a trainer that would come to my house and work out with me outside. She's amazing. I can't wait to tell you more about her. She started coming to my house once per week. 1 hour to myself and one product. I wasn't prepared at first. I seriously worked out with ripped leggings the first day. It's on video ...I'll share it.
I remember that by my Birthday that October I had already lost my first 16lbs. I still wasn't fully committed to a big change..but it was a step I could take. My Journey has progressed a lot since then. I started taking more steps in the right direction. Now I added in K2 drops and Daily HiCoffee.
Anyway this is not a product blog...This is my story. I'm down 50lbs. I feel great. and I'm taking more steps each day.
Now I have 3 hours to myself per week. I enjoy kickboxing, I enjoy moving I enjoy all of the energy I get and here I am.
I am working on becoming the Best Version of myself.
