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 :)

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

Explaining Multiple Myeloma to Children

We always think about how an adult processes the news of cancer; However, what about a child? A young one at that... During Multiple Myeloma Awareness Month , I will launch a children's book titled " Mama's Blood is Purple and Pink" and discuss how to address the elephant in the room, such as cancer. I've written a story of how the conversation can go without it being scary for a child, when it can be, and is a scary experience. Debuting end of March 2026. Preorders available here We're also looking at Guest speakers to join the conversation here Further details will be shared on my Instagram page or website

Still Kicking and Moving All Around

Hey Everyone, I'm doing well on this end. I'm currently in remission, and my follow-up next week will actually reconfirm that. We will also discuss the next steps. A lot has taken place this year and I'm just moving with the flow of things. I've been doing my share of writing via different formats online, so I'm excited about helping those also going through myeloma or any other blood-related cancer. I know this is still a harsh struggle for so many of my fellow MM's. I know in the past few months a few people I follow on social media have had a time with the prognosis of their disease, and one has recently passed away. When I hear stories like this it reminds me, that no matter remission this is still a blunt reality that never leaves you. I will always be on pins and needles, as so many of us living this new life. However, with that said I'm LIVING MY BEST LIFE and doing what I want to do, with a great bunch of friends and family in my corner. Chec...
