Fitness Check In Day 105: Pushing Through the Pain

Last night I began getting pain all over my body. My back, head, legs, neck, arms and shoulders were aching bad enough I thought I'd have to take Tylenol. Taking Tylenol is nothing bad of course if you take it as indicated, but I am not a fan of taking anything if I can help … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 105: Pushing Through the Pain

Fitness Check In Day 104: Quieting the Mind

Monday nights I usually watch wrestling on Netflix which is a nice way to end the first day of work week. I've watched wrestling since I was a kid. Then as an adult I would watch it off and on depending on my work schedule. When my dad passed away in 2022, I began watching … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 104: Quieting the Mind

Fitness Check In Day 101: Counting the Wins

Today I woke up absolutely ravenous. The hunger pangs and acid that my stomach produces when I am hungry is not fun. However I cannot eat breakfast so early in the morning lately because even though I'm hungry, I get nauseous. So I had a little bit of water, got dressed and did my 9th … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 101: Counting the Wins

Fitness Check In Day 98: Test Results and More Uncertainty

It looks like I have all my test results from the bloodwork and stool tests and all are negative for infections/parasite and normal. I mean that's amazing right? But this leaves me hanging. Leaves me with uncertainty and that is as Sheldon Cooper would say MALARKEY! What's funny is I got a notice from WordPress … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 98: Test Results and More Uncertainty

Fitness Check In Day 97: Stubborn as a Mule

Yesterday I said I was going to easy when doing DDPYoga and also mentioned how I was hungry, but lost my appetite. What I didn't say was that I needed to practice a little bit of patience in this whole process. Remind myself that I can't expect to be normal or okay just from one … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 97: Stubborn as a Mule

Fitness Check In Day 96: Saving Grace

My last post I mentioned how exhausted I had been and that I was looking forward to the sound bath session I had that night. I was expecting a little bit of energy or something this time, even though I usually just go in expecting just relaxation. To say that this session was a saving … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 96: Saving Grace
