My husband came home with flowers and icecream! I win!

Sometimes I capture a blissfully perfect moment with my fut babies. This one with my leg inserted because there's nowhere else for it to go. We are awake and in bed because my body woke me up at 5am. Prior to 2020 I would have just kept it moving and pushed myself but I'm #crampy and my blood sugar is still not quite where it needs to be to get moving. So, since I have the time to be still in this moment I am honoring what my body is telling me. Data suggests that women with #endometriosis might be at a higher risk of several #chronicdiseases, including #diabetes, #cardiovasculardisease, #chronicliverdisease as well as #rheumatoidarthritis, as well as #fertility and #pelvicinflammatorydiseases. What a mouthful! To add to the complexity of endometriosis there's often #vitaminandnutrientdeficiences that manifest. Making stabilization a bit complicated for my fellow #endowarriors as well. These deficiencies come about as a result of not enough food or too much of the wrong food. All systems in the body, both mental and physical, require vitamins and minerals. Our entire being, is affected by a lack of vitamins and nutrients--both physiologically and psychologically. Being low in nutrients does not necessarily equal a diet based on fast food and soda. Sometimes it can be that we are eating well but not well enough to provide the specific nutrients we need to heal from a specific condition. In my case and to #anemia my body doesn't absorb the way it's supposed to so I have to focus a bit harder on specific vitamins that aid in absorption--#B12 #methylcobalamin has become absolutely necessary for me during this time. Without it I am wasting my other vitamins and supplements because nothing else absorbs properly. This view from my bed has become my normal routine when/if my sugars are too high. In another life, which was only 7 months ago, I'd just keep it moving because I had epic shit to do. However, we lay back down for a bit now. A bit is typically an hour or two. In writing this post my alarm went off, someone #Archiedog had massive gas, and we've have moved to the sofa and opened the curtains. #dogmomlife #diabetes #diabeticlife #endostrong #risefilter https://www.instagram.com/p/CCBLsaHpOQTA2gitevYGBVgC61BjtDaHbBe-RQ0/?igshid=ba63wi6vjzk4
