Winter 2012-2013 continued...

I want to get everything precisely accurate. In the winter 2012-2013 things did begin to decline more but after looking back on old videos and photos I was able to do a lot more then I realized. I know things were declining because: 1. I couldn't work as often taking sub jobs 2. I had to make modifications to my coaching techniques 3.I began having a plan B for every situation in case I wasn't feeling well/in chronic pain.

But I was still able to dance silly with Makenna and go to the park with her. I could still jog and help my daughter with soccer and softball. This started changing about mid February 2013. My church started a series called fit in January 2013, where we were challenged to get physically, spiritually and emotionally fit. I would go walking and/or jogging at least 3 times a week minimum of one mile. My knees and feet would kill to get going and hurt more the next day as well. I was determined though, I figured the pain wasn't  going away so I either had to endure it or become unfit and I was too afaird of that.

Here's a photo of me around this time. My hashtags let in that it was a struggle and I was suffering with pain. I wanted to eat then and I want to eat now but food terrifys me. The more educated I have become with everything that is in modern America diet I am scared to eat anything, not only that but My joints inflame more and the pain increases when I put certain food in my body. It may not even be what is considered " bad" food in fact a lot of " good " foods are known to cause problems for RA ie: nightshade vegetables, bananas, grapes and oranges because they are high in natural sugar and the list goes on. 

In February is when I realized things are not going to change unless I figure out something different. This is when my search for healing began. This is also the first time I took a video of myself so I could look back and remember the areas of pain and the level of pain and see if it improves or gets worse. Modern medicine treats your symptoms but does not heal your body in fact it cause a lot of other problems and damages your liver as well as other organs. My search for holistic healing begins.
