It's time for another challenge

Since my medication dosage had been significantly increased since December, I'm totally feeling the side effects. These suck. There are the most common side effects that I have been warned about since going on the meds, but I've found that some are worse than others. Fatigue that is common with lamictal, is one that bothers me the most. I've always been extremely active and I hate feeling out of it and like I have zero energy. Since stimulants are definitely a no no and lower my seizure threshold, I have turned to a more natural approach. The one thing that helps me the most is excercising. Once I can get off my butt and get to the gym or do a challenging at home workout I get my endorphins running and find some awesome happy energy! To get the most out of my workouts I am eating healthy and cooking most of our meals at home. My husband and I aren't on any kind of crazy diet, but just a balanced high protein, lots of veggies, and low carb diet. The improvements in my health and how I feel have been so helpful in dealing with my epilepsy and the medication side effects. The more I workout, the more I strive for challenges. Since one of my biggest goals is helping and inspiring people, I've decided to become a Beachbody coach. Beachbody includes all of the at home workouts like insanity, P90 X, PiYo, and some new awesome programs that are geared toward your individual goals. Also, along with the workout programs are healthy eating programs and Shakeology. Shakeology contains super foods, proteins, and natural ingredients that I feel safe using. It also strengthens your immune system significantly. These are all claims that the program makes, but I'll have to be the proof that it actually works. This is unknown territory that I am going to explore and along my journey hopefully inspire anyone else who wants to take the healthy lifestyle challenge with me. I will document my progress and am open to any questions about it. My goal is to get stronger and leaner (but not huge and buff and bulky) and ultimately be healthier and feel awesome. I will start the program 21 Day Fix along with a meal plan and Shakeology. Anyone who is interested in any meal or workout program just let me know and you can buy it through me and I'll help to coach along the way. The Team Beachbody website has all of the information on all of the programs and products. I'd love to get some followers and some workout buddies, it definitely helps you stay motivated. More details to come when I get my program in. It's time to take on a new challenge and conquer. I'm going to prove that it's possible to overcome epilepsy and the meds that mess with your body.
