It's been a stressful month. Between Rowan teething and Liam's temper tantrums, add on the late hours spent working (that's not a bad thing as I love my amazing co-workers/friends!) and the stress of family fighting I haven't been thinking much about my health. And you would think being a Certified Holistic Health Counselor would make me say to myself 'Hey! You need to get some sleep, eat better and get healthy!' But I haven't been listening.
Tonight while getting my very cranky, teething baby to sleep I started having chest pains. Ones that were so bad they scared me. I panicked and took a few aspirin but I can't sleep now. I keep thinking about how I let this happen. How I let my health get on the back burner in my life. Tonight was a wake up call that I'm refusing to ignore. Tomorrow morning, of course, I'm going to go to see my physician to make sure everything's alright in my body and that I haven't done any damage in there. And then after that, I'm going to start a fresh, strict diet of wholesome foods. I'll start with juicing to get the most nutritional benefit from my diet. Especially since I'm breastfeeding a growing eight month old and a growing four year old, I'll need to add on a bit to my diet at first and crowd out the bad things.
Tomorrow begins the rest of my life. Wish me luck.
