The past few days have been interesting to say the least. Last Friday I left after work and went downtown to do a little Christmas shopping, then with heavy cumbersome bags (heavy for me is anything between 5 and 10 pounds) I walked over to Trader Joe's to get some cocoa powder I needed to … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 69: Taking Advantage of the Energy

Fitness Check In Day 68
After going out for about 1 block and a 1/2 on Sunday, my body was craving more exercise time, so last night after work, I bundled up with two hats, since I am still getting over that cold, a fleece over my shirt, scarf, gloves, you name it. I did look like the kid from … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 68
Fitness Check In Day 67
The day I saw the test results from my endoscopy online over a week ago, was the same day I had an early dentist appointment and in my rush to get out of the apartment so I wouldn't be late, despite waking up early, I forgot my hat and left with wet hair. There was … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 67
Fitness Checkup Day 66: Visiting My Dad
Since my dad's passing in 2022, we've been going to visit him at the cemetery a few times a year. One of the days we go and bring him flowers and talk to him is the weekend before Thanksgiving. Due to my constant stomach issues, we have always saved money to take a cab to … Continue reading Fitness Checkup Day 66: Visiting My Dad
Fitness Check In Day 65: One Foot in Front of the Other
Today after taking a week off from doing DDPY Bedflex, I dove back in followed by the physical therapy stretches to offset any tightness in my pelvic floor muscles. It felt good to do it again but I will admit I did cry again a little when doing one of the exercises. The exercise was … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 65: One Foot in Front of the Other

Fitness Check In Day 63
So far this week, I have again been going through ups and downs with my health. The esophagitis has been unreal with the pain in the chest, coughing when I breath etc. I was supposed to start the PPI Voquenza on Tuesday, but it was my mom's birthday, then yesterday was a mass at St … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 63
Fitness Check In Day 62
Yesterday I was determined to start the Bedflex program over on the DDPY app and I did. The best part about the DDPY app is that is lays it all out for you each week and you can either add or change whatever workout you want to do that day. Today I did Bed Flex … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 62
Fitness Check In Day 61: The Month of Giving Thanks
This Halloween, my brother and I ended up not walking in the New York City Village parade this year like we had done the past 3 years. The pain and discomfort from the esophagitis was significant and I honestly did not feel strong enough to put on my costume and make that trek to the … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 61: The Month of Giving Thanks
Fitness Check Day 60: No Amount of Pain Will Derail Pumpkin Carving
Yesterday, the esophagitis pain was soo bad, my chest hurt, the ulcers in my throat burned and my mouth felt like I ate numerous spiked lemons. I spoke only when absolutely necessary and was using a text to speech app to communicate when I needed to. I work from home, so I didn't have to … Continue reading Fitness Check Day 60: No Amount of Pain Will Derail Pumpkin Carving
