I guess it's been a while again. Now that all three of my kids are in school full time I hope I'll have a little more time here. I'm thinking I'll post some more of my favorite "healthy" recipes and some fitness tips or just a little of my own crazy life.
So, I now have three black belts in my own little family. That's right! Not only is my husband a 1st degree black, but so is my 11 year old son, and more recently my 9 year old daughter joined the black belt club. My 4 (5 in 6 days!) year old is working on it, he'll be testing for his green belt in a week... So he's working on that black belt club membership too... I guess I'd better get on that for myself...
Aww, she's so cute!
So, in all these past few months I have had a few fun medical things involving myself come up. First, I started having really bad episodes of pounding irregular heartbeat, dizziness, headache, and shortness of breath. So a trip to my doctor turned into a trip to the ER, and now regular cardiologist visits...fun.
So, it turns out I have an arrhythmia called Ventricular Bigeminy, which means my heart likes to make extra beats. Luckily I've been able to get it under control with medication, and also luckily it doesn't stop me from exercising!
Next, I just found out last week that I'm in menopause... Yep, I'm only 35... That means more medicine by way of hormone therapy, because I'm just too young to be without hormones!
But even with everything going on, I've had a great recovery from my surgery. You thought I'd forgot? Of course not! Here it is-
Exactly 2 years post surgery and I don't regret a thing. I'm more comfortable in my body now and having my abdominal muscles repaired has finally allowed me to do ab work without the muscles sliding back. Meaning I can actually do a sit-up! More than one even! Hahah😂
Even more good news, I've decided that because videos such as p90x, Insanity, Turbofire, and Les Mills Combat played such a big part in my transformation to this point I have decided to become a Beachbody Coach. I want to help others find their fitness, work their health muscles, and feel successful like I do. If you have any questions etc you can contact me through here or at www.beachbodycoach.com/AliciaFriedman
This was me about 5 years ago... And now...
I want this for others. And yes, that's the same kid! I will be here again soon, so what would you like to see? Recipes? Fitness video information? I'll be doing a full month test of Shakology soon, and I promise to post my honest opinion on it. Until later....
