ActiveRain June Challenge- ActiveRain Point Store is Open!
About 15 years I started to gain weight, even thou I ate very healthy and was very active in hiking, golf, etc. At first they thought it was a thyroid issue so they put me on a natural medication. Well then they discovered I add an autoimmune type so they had to shift me to another drug. That brought those numbers to 'normal'. But the pounds slowly but surely kept finding me. So they said - stop having so much salt and drink more water. Holy smokes more water? I was already drinking a lot of water all day long! But I followed what they told me. And at some point I accepted my situation and bought bigger clothes and went about my business.
Fast forward to this past year or so a brilliant doctor at the Mayo Clinic knew exactly what was the reason the weight gain (even thou that's not why I was seeing her). She asked me a lot of questions and low and behold said - You are not having enough salt and you're drinking too much water. Go figure! I followed her suggestions and guess what? With absolutely no effort at all that weight started to come off with just those couple of shifts. Fast forward to this year and I'm about 60+ pounds less than I had been for too many years. Back to normal - almost! My last post photo is my normal weight I had for years and years and now I'm almost to that point! Yes! Just a little older and wiser now too.......😊🍌
BUT in the process of cleaning out my closet recently, I had nothing that fit me. As in nada! I wasn't able to get out shopping due to a hip issue so I had to wait until I could get out there and shop shop SHOP! And oh boy, did I have fun. I found so many cute tops etc. And I still am actively shopping when I can! Oh I know, so sad, isn't it!!
That's where my ActiveRain Points came in handy! I decided that when the Point Store opened that I would spend some of my points on clothes! Now my closet is looking colorful again and I've got plenty of clothes to chose from every day. I'm having fun again - like I always used to all my life.
