I’m trying – really freaking hard – every. single. day. to find joy in this crazy journey. Surgery was about a week and a half ago and every day since I’ve been trying to find things to smile about.

My calcium has been crashing, my stomach has been tore up from these horrible calcium pills, but I’ve pushed myself to find joy in SOMETHING every day. And if I couldn’t find anything, I made something happen. My go-to’s lately have been: Happy music, playing with my puppies, sitting in silence outside, enjoying the cool air against my skin, taking drives down new roads, etc.

Today is good day. Today I started working out again and I started a new 6 week program! I finally bit the bullet and purchased Jessica Smith’s 6 Week Walk Strong Program and did Day 1 today! I’m already feeling better and more energized and I’m really looking forward to sticking with this program.

I’m so grateful for this opportunity. The opportunity to live a great, active life. I don’t want to waste it.
