30 Day Challenge – Day 11: Worst Injury

Day 11 – Write about the worst injury that you’ve ever had.

The worst injury I’ve ever had, that’s still an on-going problem, is my back. When I was in high school, the doctors told me I had a slipped disc and that there really wasn’t much I could do about it. I think it’s the product of playing too much basketball and softball. It still gives me a lot of trouble and I don’t think it’ll ever fully get better. Nothing really seems to help either, so I kind of just have to deal with it.

The worst pain I’ve ever been in was definitely when I had a cyst on my tailbone. I didn’t really know what was going on, except that I was having incredible pain. I toughed it out for a few days and when I finally went to the doctor I had to have surgery right away. The recovery process was so long and not fun at all, but at least after surgery the intense pain stopped.

30 Day Challenge – Day 9: Food Philosophy

Day 9 – What’s your food philosophy?

I don’t know that I’d really classify it as a “philosophy” but I like to eat what I want. I figure that’s one of the perks of working out 5 or 6 days a week. I don’t force myself to eat stuff that doesn’t taste good or that I don’t like, but I also try to avoid junk as much as possible. If I want to eat something I do, and I try not to feel bad about it.

Since a year ago, I’m healthier, happier, drink less, make smarter choices, and have a more clear picture of what I want to do with my life and who I want to be. (Love seeing the changes in my niece over the past year too!)
