So the past few weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about my blog. Trying to ascertain what the focus of it is. Is it my Mental Health? Ironman Journey? Or Weight-loss journey. I have concluded that it is actually a blend of all three.
However, being self critical, I seem to be quick to share my successes and target of completing this ‘mythical’ Ironman, I am far less forthcoming in sharing my mental health ups and downs.
The truth is the past few weeks I’ve been pretty ropey. My Lithium blood levels were low and I felt pretty poor because of this. This resulted in me having my meds adjusted and eventually getting my lithium back into the therapeutic range. Mental health – check.
Ironman is still going to happen and is still the end goal. However, it was all getting too much for me and I have changed my goals. I feel that I spent too much time doing wrong things with food. When I successfully lost 6.5st I was in a particular mindset and I need to find that mindset again. I think I am there now, the past few weeks I have been a lot more balanced and health focussed.
I had an appointment with the Doctor and discussed my weight. I’m feeling pretty miserable about it right now. The doctor has put me in touch with Livewell and I have my first session Wednesday. I honestly don’t know what to expect, but I haven’t got anything to lose have I! Ironman and Weight – check.
