Negative Health Conditions

[warning: this is a negative post] 

I need to make some changes in my health. I have just lost all motivation.

Just a couple years ago I was running 5Ks, walking three miles a day, dancing, and full of energy. All of a sudden one day we went for a walk and I was literally out of breath before I got to the top of the road. After this happened a few times, I finally went to the doctor. He did not give me any answers other than “I think you may have asthma”. He gave me a steroid inhaler and one of those regular inhalers to carry around with me. I have used them both and they do seem to work. Maybe I do have Asthma? 

Being in this health condition, I have put on weight due to not feeling like exercising. I also hit the wonderful time in life called Perimenopause. I get out of breath just putting on my shoes. I’m not sleeping good, snoring, and gasping myself awake. I feel like I have aged 20 years all of a sudden.

Last year I went on the Zepbound weight loss shots hoping it would help me lose weight. I only lost 20 lbs in 6 months. I never went down a size in clothes. I feel like I only lost 20lbs in muscle as I was the weakest I have ever been. I was also sick all the time, so I stopped. This lead me to putting on another 30lbs since January. I am miserable. No matter how healthy or little I eat, It does not work anymore. I do not know what to do. 

I lost 50lbs very easily 10 years ago (It’s been that long?) with Nutrisystem. I even tried that rout again but this time, nothing. It did not work for me. 

I turned a small corner of a room into a little workout room. I have been trying to go in there each day and walk on the walking pad, hula hoop, and some other exercises. However, I lack motivation and again, I get out of breath easy. 

My little work out corner. The other part of the room is an office area.

I plan to visit another doctor next week to see if she can give me some advice. I think I have chronic inflammation. I feel like I’m drowning in it. This is not good for my Meniere’s disease which is also caused by inflammation in the inner ear. So, I’m just full of it and tired of feeling this way. I want to get back into the swing of things. 

My plans so far:

1. Get back to blogging more as it is good for my mental health.

2. Eat more fruits and veggies and eliminate breads.

3. Visit the doctor for advice. Also visit my Gynecologist to test and see if I need to up my Estrogen meds. 

4. Don’t stress on working out but instead focus on a healthier diet.

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
