| About | Hi! My name is Tammy and I have a varying history of exercise and eating healthy. I have autoimmune diseases including Rheumatoid Arthritis that limits my physical activities. I feel best when my muscles are strong, but it can be a challenge to get and stay there. I also have a nerve pain disorder causing pain in my facial nerves that make eating raw or crunchy foods difficult. I take numerous medications that contribute to weight gain and diabetes. I had bariatric surgery and lost over 140 pounds. I made it even lower than my ideal weight. However, a respiratory infection (that interfered with exercise) asthma and having to increase corticosteroid dose (that increases hunger) made me gain 30 pounds back. My goal is to lose that weight I regained and to increase my muscle. I need to find some healthy new recipes as I get stuck in a rut. I also need to find fun new ways to exercise that do not put repetitive strain on my joints. I hope to connect with people also looking to expand diet and exercise choices. People that we can try out new recipes together and provide each other encouragement. |
