PURIUM: 1 Year, 3 Months, 2 Weeks In (2/12/2024)
My work friend of going on 16 years sent me this text.
You'd have to know the both of us to not be offended by how it's written.
The mutual respect for each other is so high that others on the outside looking in are perplexed that we're even friends.
We got to know each other for who we are and we made a great team on a couple of past projects for a previous Director.
His text was brought about because I told him about the arthritis diagnoses.
BTW, my husband Paul Branham likes all of my work friends.
I share this because my friend has seen my transition attempts through the years from trying to gain weight in 2009; to trying to lose weight since three miscarriages followed by the birth of our youngest (with exception to about 5 years where we weren't working in the same building); to now after finishing 4 ultimate lifestyle transformations using regenerative farm to table nutrition since November 2022 and when I added in holistic health and wellness training September 2023.
All that time included multiple musculoskeletal injuries and recurrences, multiple specialist visits, physical therapies, orthotics, and modifications.
Anywhoooo.
All this to say, my good moods along with a whole list of gains have been fueled by superfoods and the best stewardship of my temporary outer shell I've ever had in my entire life!
The photos are from Friday morning after missing many training days after a family emergency.
I've had my physical musculoskeletal challenges over the years but this time my Christ centered holistic health and wellness is sustainable!
Shout out to Coach Whamae Boayue, Tonika Goss, Niki Hampton, Erin Hampton, and a list of medical specialists through the years!
They all had a part of helping me get to this point in life to have learned about and better take care of my body in my personal #AgingWithGrace Journey!
Goodbye to excess inflammation, chronic pain, lack of energy, dead core strength, back going out multiple times, weak ankles, and extremely slow ligament injuries healing and WELCOME to healing and reversal of other issues for the better and continued maintenance of a much better temple for the Holy Spirit to reside in than what I offered before!
