SOLUTION  

I currently work three 12-hour days day shift each week. Those days typically vary, and I am required to work one weekend per month. I also occasionally attend trainings or meetings on my days off. I am also a wife and mother to two children – one teenager and one college age. I also attend church and spend too much time on social media. One of my hobbies is health and fitness so I love to shop for healthier food and workout in the gym. Unfortunately, I have been diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy and am currently waiting for an MRI to confirm. At the present time, I am unable to lift weights which is a huge struggle for me mentally as I enjoy spending “me time” at my gym.

Since enrolling in this class, I will have to keep working ahead as I am able as I am unsure where this neck injury will take me….please click the purchase button to access the entire solution at $5
