At the beginning of May, Dan and I have joined a program that my employer provides for employees and their spouses for free. It is called "Lifestyle 180". This program is to help better ones self with all aspects of life from their lab results (cholesterol, blood pressure and so one), handling stress and other life choices or what they call it...being mindful, meditation, yoga and nutrition. For the first few months we go twice a week then go to once a week to once a month. The whole program goes to a minimum of a year. We are currently in our 5th week and we have learned alot! Being mindful is probably one of the biggest things that stays at the front of your brain. I will keep you posted on this journey that Dan and I have started on. Our goal is to become healthier and make better choices to help us become less stressed, and become a little more pain free.
Besides the mindfulness the other two things that I have learned is that my body is inflamed not due to my job or other reasons I thought but due to the foods that are in our everyday food choices. I knew that I hurt from time to time but it was confirmed that I had some major inflammation. Something that I never even thought of was the vitamins that ones body uses and for what reasons and such. We I also learned that through the blood tests that they took I have no vitamin d in my system. I am working on this and am hoping to see that the numbers are up at our 6 month lab work since the 6 week labs are to early to tell. You will see more posts on the experiences of our journey. Until next time.....
Peace out...
