Day 38. Wow, feels good to see the check in days keep going up!! Today was a bit more of a positive day for me. I woke up raring to go and this energy level pretty much stayed the same until before dinner when I was starting to fade since I skipped lunch. I got … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 38
Each morning, I look forward to my slightly watered down half cup of espresso with my breakfast or as I like to call it, my morning cup of sunshine, hope and possibilities. The only espresso or coffee I can have is from RAD Coffee which I happened to come across thanks to my former coworker/friend … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 37
Today was not as hot as other days temperature wise, but the humidity made it feel sooo icky and gross that it just felt like it was 100 or so in the apartment. Despite how heavy the air was, I did manage to get in a workout. Thankfully, while I don't have AC, I do … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 36
As I mentioned in my motivational video today, the past few days have been a bit tough. Between the physical exhaustion and being in a funk mentally, it was hard to push through, which led me to just stay in bed yesterday. Also the high fiber diet was messing with my stomach hardcore so any … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 35
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

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
Sometimes, you can get ahead of yourself. You cheer yourself on and encourage yourself to push a little harder. Sometimes, in your mind you're ready, but your body is not. Today was one of those days. I was even more sluggish than usual since drinking that stomach wrecking Barium-sulfate w/contrast concoction in the Emergency Room … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 31
Today I knew that I wanted to hit the mat and the air walk trainer, so after my quick morning routine (brush teeth, wash face), I did a few quick stretching exercises in bed to wake up those muscles. 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
