Checked into the Emergency Care today cause apparently a sinus infection doesnt just go away with DayQuil, Roseguard and Best Defense.. If I was not flying on Wednesday to Chicago, I probably would have waited til Monday, ok or even Tuesday to get seen. But since there was urgency.. I went today. As I sat and waited, and waited, in the waiting room..I realized how often I take my health for granted until feeling under the weather. Clear breathing through the nostrils, head that functions head ache free, no pressure in my sinuses. A heart that beats without me thinking about it, how I remember to breath all night while asleep.. Then I looked down at my hands and realized the same hands that shot tons of free throws in my parents backyard, that can put Jude to sleep by holding both sides of his face, that cook (sometimes) clean (on occasion) lift weights drive are the same hands that will be with me my entire physical being. I looked at the beautiful wedding bands on my fingers knowing one day they will be passed down to Calli and they will go on longer than my physical existence. In the past I would function on less sleep than needed to restore, less water intake than what my body is asking for, before Herbalife I was doing 2x a day workouts to try to keep the weight off after having 3 babies.. More wear and tear than needed. The intent was wrong. I was working out because I didnt love my body. Now the shift is working out because I love my body and want to care for it. Im grateful for learning to fuel my body correctly. We are in this for the long haul. Its more than about how we look its about the LOngevity. I want to be able to babysit our kids kids with Brett Burnham, I want to be able to run, crawl play when Im in my 70s and beyond. Just by sitting in silence in the waiting room I realized my body is asking for yoga. Its asking for more water. Its asking for more sleep. Its asking for continued good nutrition. Its the flow not the grind. Make sure when you say yes to someone else, you are not saying no to yourself. Message Received
