Where Oh Where... Did This Become Such A Hot Mess?

Spending a few days in reflection...  I think to myself... where did this become such a hot mess?  By this... I mean ME!  Growing up I was always sickly- wayyy underweight.  Horrible migraines and tummy issues.  I'd say somewhere in my late 20's things sort of took a turn for the worse.  I started to put on weight from numerous courses of steroids for various illnesses.  Seems doctors are so quick to prescribe steroids.  Take this prednisone and it will go away.  This also really started hitting me just before my pregnancy thru today. 

Let's see here...  I have some health issues to address.  Some hurdles to overcome.  I'm giving myself 90 days to meet my first goal.  120 days for my 2nd goal.  Then we will take it from there.

Areas of concern:  PCOS, Eczema, Allergies, Asthma, Migraines, and Ulcerative Colitis.  Those are just to name a few in addition to needing to lose weight.

Each day I will plan to blog about one of the issues in addition to what I may be learning along the way.  I'm not a doctor...  just a stay at home mommy and wife who is taking charge of her health with real life experience.

She Believed She Could... So She Did!

Welcome!

Tap tap tap...  is this thing on?  Well hey there!  Welcome to my blog.  I'm Taryn and I would love for you to follow me on my journey to good health.  First and foremost I am a wife and mommy.  At 34 years old I feel 84 years old.  Today is the day I stop making excuses and take charge of my health.  Sure some of it is hereditary, some of it's caused by auto immune issues (so they say), and some of it is just plain negligence! 

Here I plan to keep an online account of my journey.  What's working for me..  what isn't.  Perhaps someday I can help someone in my same position.  One thing is clear...  you only get ONE Body and ONE Life.  There are no second chances.  

I'm going to set some realistic goals for myself and in the journey find out more about myself and good health.  I've always said...  "Nobody knows your body like you.  Not even a DR.  You know best!"  I know one thing...  I feel like garbage!  It all ends today.  Hopefully you will stick with me!
