Love this life :) It was already fabulous and now I am on week 13 of my Thrive Experience and I cannot share this Experience with those who have had repercussions due to pregnancy, or hinderance of recovery of surgery, tension that causes headaches and many things that would take me all day to list out. After all I am very fortunate. What I do know is that the greatest parts of my physical and mental well being are even stronger. Many of you know that I was hit by a truck on my bicycle coming home from the CF gym I used to train at, and what you may or may not remember is that I was in phenomenal shape and that in itself literally saved my life. After I finally recovered from that, I began training myself as intensely as I always had. However, I began noticing atrophy on the side that was hit and honestly, just decided that it was because I demonstrate with my other leg and focused on the weaker side. By the luck of God, I fell down the stairs last March and when I went to get X Rays we discovered that my right leg was 7mm longer than the left. After decompression therapy and ART therapy for 6 months, I was finally able to do leg workouts again, but at a minimal and I would still limp around at a 9/10 scale wondering how I was going to continue the career I chose when I was a child. Fitness IS MY LIFE!!!!! For those of you who know the passion of fitness, this is a huge setback, let down, disappointment etc.. I was then told I would never run again which meant no competitions, no stair WODs ( EVERYONE KNOWS I LOVE STAIRS), burpee races etc.. I left my doctors office bawling!!! I had never thought that this would happen to me. 3 weeks ago after feeling so amazing and put back together mentally from the depression I had from this devastating news, I decided to go run. I mean you guys, even doing chest hurt my leg.. like seriously?! I am back in the game and I have no discomfort from any of it and am pushing a little harder each time. For those who know me best, I have never even been the slightest overweight or unhappy, or self conscience. After I, in a sense, let myself go,I put on a couple inches on my waist and other than demonstrating ( which also hurt) I pretty much didnt workout. A whole life change and it truly tore me apart. My boyfriend and friends didnt understand why putting on a couple of inches was such a big deal, but when I had nothing, I had my body and I felt like I no longer had the one temple I could always rely on. I know this has been a long post, but you guys need to understand that Thrive gave me the healing tools I needed to get myself back on track and even though I am taking the plyometrics and running slowly, I am doing it!!! SO when I say trust me, listen to my Experience and just take a chance, please listen. Your story may not be the same as mine, but everyone is missing something that Thrive can give back to you and your loved ones. Yes, having YOU feel better and have more energy and achieve goals you never thought were attainable will help aid and balance your relationships with your friends and family and even co-workers.
