Hello everyone!
I am going to write about last week first...
Last week was really good health wise. I decided that I needed to step up my workouts (when I'm having "good" days) in order to truly start gaining some more strength. I did a modified bootcamp workout with one of my classes, did a TRX workout with my best friend and did a weight workout on the weekend.
I also made sure that I had a green smoothie each day to increase my nutrients going in and help boost my immune system as well as take everything my Naturopath had given me.
This week was a bit different. My grandmother was quite ill and passed away yesterday. My spirit was not so into working out this week and I have to admit that even though I am a personal trainer, I am a bit of an emotional eater! So my nutrition this week was not as great and I forgot to take my Naturopath supplements.
I did however make healthy cookies and banana chips in my dehydrator, take lots of baths and worked on my dream boards to help my mind and soul heal.
I have also decided that I would love to try parallette bars for my upper body and core strength. It looks like so much fun and it doesn't involve my legs too much so I should be able to do it fairly frequently! I will keep you updated on this one.
I would like to take a quick moment to thank everyone who has supported my family over the past few weeks. We have an amazing support system and it doesn't go unnoticed. So thank-you for everything!
Now my Gram was one of the strongest, most courageous women I have ever met and she would want me to get myself back on track so that I am physically and mentally ready for this surgery.
SOOOO, here I go!

Next Step
Hi everyone!
Happy New Year! Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Things have gotten interesting in my life!
1) Over the holidays I got engaged! Super excited about this! Let the planning begin!
2) We have decided to take the next step with regards to my hip and this means surgery.
They will be doing a Peri Acetabular Osteotomy. This is pelvic surgery to deepen my hip socket to help decrease my pain levels and to help prep me for a hip replacement down the road (hopefully not for 10 years or so).
This surgery is a bit scary for me as in my eyes surgery truly is the last resort as it is so invasive. But at the same time I am glad that there is a treatment plan and hopeful at the outcome.
I will be off work for 3-4 months with this option and have been spending the past month organizing, prepping, planning and putting systems into place with my business in order to make this possible. Luckily, I have an amazing family and supportive staff to help out.
I have not been given a date yet for the surgery (although they tried to convince me to go in before Christmas) and I have been calling weekly trying to get them to give me some idea as to when this might happen. I may just go down to the hospital later this week. Owning my own business means that I HAVE to plan and not knowing when I will be leaving is posing some difficulties.
In the mean time I have put into place a pre-surgery plan of action to help make sure that my body and mind are ready for this. I will be keeping you all updated on my steps and progress until the date of surgery.
Talk to you soon!
