Week 4 Challenge and Rev/ Dex/ Krypolis

Well I've completed my 21 day fitness challenge- didn't have much time to give a day by day plan with the exception on IG posts -Yoliecooks.
It's been some interesting few weeks, but happy to say I safely lost 5 lbs, and 4 more to go. This challenge has taught me that I don't have to just go with the flow, but I can move towards a healthier eating regimen as well as workout. This challenge was more rewarding than when I normally workout at the gym... with that I'm proud of the results.

-Losing some of waist and stomach- states happiness on my part.

Healthy mindset is a must for those going through chronic conditions. The way to move ahead in making changes is towards your diet and getting some form of physical activity*.

*Always speak with your doctor when you want to go that route of physical activities in what should and should not be done, based on your individual situation.

Diet
My diet consisted of mindfulness- period!

It was refreshing to eat minimal and really pay attention on what I placed on the plate.
My regimen went a little like this:
Breakfast- (1 or another)
Smoothies (yogurt, fruits, and flaxseed)
Oatmeal and blueberries

Snacks- (1 or another)
Blueberry (under a cup)
Low fat Popcorn (under a cup)
Trisket crackers (4-5 crackers)

Dinner- (1 or another)
Less white rice and more brown rice- 1 small serving
Fresh vegetables
Salads
Fish or Chicken

It was fun to play around with the meals and record my eating schedule on the fridge.
Part of this challenge was a huge intake of water- which definitely did my body good.

More developments on the way :)

Pivot

The last few years have been interesting. Life has been busy, and this has taught me different perspectives on living with multiple myeloma. I wanted to expand on this on another point, but lately, I recalled when I thought my time here on Earth was near. I was deathly ill and it was clear that death was my fate and in this way. I survived that situation but it then expanded my walk further with multiple myeloma. After an arduous treatment, I met lower numbers and back-to-back 0 spike, and BMX showed MRD...REMISSION-YES! There has been a lot of pivoting in thinking one way and then having something else happen. It's clear there's no rhyme to reason; However, there's faith but that is even questionable for some folks. I know who questions faith- right? Some do and rightfully so when you don't have control over the situation. It feels okay in the moment to question. Pivot with multiple myeloma is about rethinking living. Yes, it is a drag to be on treatment, and th...

Childrens Book on Multiple Myeloma

I've found I can talk with an adult all day about life with a multiple myeloma diagnosis, some get it, some are still clueless...it is what it is. Multiple Myeloma is relatable for those who are on their own journey, or those who have had a family or friend who was taken from them because of it. The conversation around cancer with young children holds a certain complexity. The question arises, should you say anything about it with small children as opposed to older children? How do you start the conversation? Is it necessary to be so candid with subtlety? After being diagnosed myself at an early age, and found myself in need of my own comfort in bringing on this conversation. Follow my journey as I start promoting my new book...title to be debuted at a later time on my social media page -Instagram @myelomachick . Whether having small children, grandchildren, nieces, or nephews...How have you shared your story with multiple myeloma? Y
