Consistency

So after alllll of that… What am I up to now?

After cancer treatment and 2 surgeries, sticking with a strict diet and exercise for over a year. I decided to stick with it! Because why not? I spent so much time and effort detoxing sugar and other chemicals out of my life and the cravings stopped. So why add them back in right? The only thing that I will “cheat” on every once in a while is beer. At the end of a long, hard week that is where I will ease up and give myself a break. So yes, after about 8 months of no booze, I cracked open my first beer last summer and it was GOOD, however sometimes I wish I never even did that. I had such a hard time going into chemotherapy infusions knowing I was putting poison in my body and here I am drinking poison by choice just to feel good for a few hours? Being human=imperfections.

Till this day, I still try and limit alcohol intake to the weekends and still cut out sugar in my diet, mostly sticking with a keto diet and exercising regularly.

I have switched my mindset from survival mode to cancer prevention and what I can do to prevent this horrible disease from coming back. And if it does, I know I did everything I could on my end.

However, now that I am starting the IVF process I am back to no alcohol and weaning off of caffeine, which they recommend while on the medications and getting my body prepared to hopefully be pregnant. So I am taking medication that makes me tired.. and then cutting back on caffeine = the worst. Having a bad day or week and not being able to have a beer at the end = even worse. Again, it is all a mindset and yes, I have good days and bad days but every day I make that choice again and again.
