Since 2022, July 4th has been a tough, emotional day to celebrate. This is the day that my dear papa passed away in the evening with my brother, mom and myself all around him as we watched him take his last breath. Even though he suffered with Alzheimer's for a few years, he still knew … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 34
Photo by Kindel Media on Pexels.com I've had a not so great and painful 3 days. 3 days of not posting or continuing my fitness journey. 3 days of continued uncertainty and worry. Disappointed that I wasn't being active and instead lying in bed or just sitting, but the pain and pressure on my intestines … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 33: Dr Appt, Fiber, Exercise
I was worried how I would wake up this morning after overdoing it yesterday despite initially not feeling any pain or discomfort, only to end the day waddling around with a cane for support. However, I woke up in good spirits and with very minimal soreness!!! This of course was NOT a green light for … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 32
Welcome to Inspiration Alley where I will be posting videos and quotes on a weekly basis. As I mentioned in this video, there won't always be a "perfect time" to do something, so why wait. I can feel and look tired, hair out of place, bad lighting, too much noise etc... but that's how life … Continue reading Weekly Inspirational Video 01

Then, I got on that glider for 25 glorious minutes with some music from the 80's, … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 30
Waking up these days has been tough. My body has just been dragging lately, making it hard to get up on that glider after brushing my teeth and washing my face. Not only that, I am as Cher would say from the movie Clueless, "riding the crimson wave" for the past 3 days, so the … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 29

In the morning I was definitely feeling the heat and was too tired to do any form of exercise. However, I got a small … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 28
Yesterday, I felt like such crap I didn't even check in. I was exhausted, nauseous, super restless and worried since I had been looking for a urologist since Thursday and the ones at Columbia Presbyterian have no availability till September or October despite my telling him of the urgency. They only offered virtual next week, … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day: 27
Today once again I woke up soo exhausted I just washed my face, brushed my teeth in the morning and went back to sleep for two more hours. Then up for breakfast and after an hour went back to sleep until about 3:00pm. A much needed rest for my body after this hellish week. Then … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 26
