I haven't posted picture of myself for a long time, on purpose. I've been ashamed of my body after being diagnosed with hashimotos, Lyme, Bartonella, adrenal fatigue, SIBO, lupus, and possible celiac. I've continued to work my a** off and I seem to be spinning my wheels along with being super weak and fatigued most days. I feel like my body is constantly working against me, even though I treat it very well.
I've trained and counted macros for years, but I've had a really hard time with weight gain and muscle loss despite all of my hard work and now I know why. I've decided to begin working with my body instead of against it, in order to heal. I'm trying to workout when I can (lifting 5-6 days and walking daily), track macros, enjoy a glass of champagne every now and then (can't often due to meds and gut issues), the outdoors, my husband, and dog. I will compete again, but until then I will also do my best to get back my health and strength.
