I thought a blog would be a great way for all our AquaAerobics friends, as well as others, to keep in touch! My hope is that you all can add comments yourself, about a walk you may be planning, or some other form of exercise. Then anyone who wants to meet you there can respond too. Or just shout out a big hello if you want! Hope you are all doing well!
I do want to let you all know the reason behind my decision to no longer teach water fitness. I discovered that my thyroid is out of balance and I may also have an autoimmune thyroid disorder. With ANY autoimmune disorder, I have been told it is imperative to avoid fluoride, chlorine and bromine. Also, a diet of mostly veggies is in order (which I find I actually love), along with a gluten-free, dairy-free diet, and no alcohol, caffeine, sugar, processed foods, and more. So I am eating mainly veggies, nuts, seeds, superfoods, and occasionally chicken or fish. I try to eat organic as much as possible, avoiding pesticides and herbicides. I'm also beginning my organic garden for sprouts, arugula, cucumbers, parsley and other staples in my diet. I feel like I no longer live to eat, but eat to live!
I must say, I do feel incredibly energetic with this diet, and with the added exercise I have been getting - a daily (almost, considering all the rain) 2 mile hike. I bought a fitbit and try to get between 10,000 and 20,000 steps a day in. Subbing Kindergarten gives me 10,000 in just a few hours!
So I am continuing to eat well, exercise, and read up on thyroid and health! Seems that thyroid is a major issue in many women!
Hugs!
