I just got my 30 day Cleanse and Restore kit from do Terra in the mail yesterday and I am raring to go.
The purpose of recording my journey is mainly for me to keep on track and document my day to day feelings and thoughts, but if there is even one person out there that is interested in following along, I will give a bit of a background story about me.
I am a 42, a mother of an amazing 6 year old daughter, and a step mom to an awesome 13 year old young man. I live in Maple Ridge, British Columbia with my hubby, and we have been in this life together for 9 years this year.
We have been through it all - in my past a divorce and in his a child custody battle that took years to settle. When we got together, we connected in a way that we knew we would be in it for the long haul. We moved in together in 6 months, tried for our first child within the first year - had a miscarriage. Devastated, we tried again and voila - we were off and running again with our little bean later that year.
To our shock, I was diagnosed with Stage 3B breast cancer at 24 weeks pregnant. A barrage of doctors and specialists later, the plan was derived. Surgery to remove the cancer, planned baby c section, chemo, radiation, surgery, surgery, and more surgery - nearly 7 years later. Cancer free, healthy baby girl, Oliver and Aidan in tow...and that leads us to today.
Now, as you can imagine, that was the coles notes version and the full day in day out version is posted in my blog at http://kellyscancerfight.blogspot.ca/.
Today, I reflect on the journey me and my family and have been through - and I feel blessed and grateful to be alive day in and day out. I have an amazing job, an incredible support system with an abundance of friends and family, and I really couldn't ask for more in my life. I can only get better from here.
Having said all that, I am a few years older, and my body has taken a beating from all that it has had to endure for me over the past years. Most recently, my weight has escalated rapidly and I am noticing a lot of skin imperfections starting on my legs many months back, and now it seems to be creeping up onto the upper half of my body. I am not a fan of these circular, red, scaly, often painful little buggers.
I recently was introduced to do Terra Essential Oils - and I am SO in love with everything these oils and the company who makes them is about. If you want to learn more, I will leave you to check out their website and let me know if you have any questions.
One of the kits available is a Cleanse and Restore kit - and while I have tried many different detox and cleanses in the past, I am super stoked to start the do Terra 30 day program TODAY.
My goal in 2017 is to get my body back. Some evil devil invaded it once and I will not stand to have him or any other evil devil enter it again. I started the new year with eliminating alcohol from my routine. I have also been logging my caloric intake, and activity, every day since the new year turned over. Today I add to the plan with the beginning of the cleanse with the overall hope that not only will it invigorate my entire body, but it will help shake these awful skin impairments.
Cross your fingers, cause here I go.
