40’s Better

It’s been quite a while since I’ve been posting. So much has changed since this summer.  I withdrew from the figure comp in September because my youngest son (who has autism), really needed my time and attention.  I am so happy and grateful that I made the choice to pull back and devote the time to the kids.  My little guy is flourishing. He’s like a completely different little guy.

I’m still teaching spinning.  Next semester I’ll be teaching 2 spinning classes and 1 sculpt class each week so that will be an excellent foundation in getting back to my health and well being.  My diet has certainly not been clean and, guess what, I really don’t feel guilty about it.  Life cycles and that’s the way things happen.  In my 40th year, the most important thing now is balance. 

September 23rd I was rushed to the hospital with the fear that I might be having a stroke.  Thank god, it was only an atypical migraine but it was one hell of a wake  up call.  I worked hard for the body I had in August.  I need to devote as much time and attention to my overall health now.  As I lie in the emergency room all I could think about was my husband and my kids…especially my boys.  I needed to be there for them. It is with those thoughts that I look forward to 2009 and a long and healthy life.
