Fitness Check In Day 22

I have to admit that I dragged this morning.  The exhaustion has been hitting me hard lately, and today was no exception.  Was it the Colace I had to take last night? The worry about the drastic change in my digestion and bowel issues? The stress of the work week? Finances? Who knows.  I have … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 22

Fitness Check In Day 20

A few things were the same today. I got up and worked out on the glider. Had my usual breakfast and did another few minutes on the glider followed by some work with the resistance bands. What was different today though was I didn't really have the usual peppy music on. I had more mellow … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 20

Fitness Check In: Day 18

Today I woke up and my stomach was a mess and super bloated, but the Colace was finally working a bit and the panic of me having to go to the ER subsided. I was completely wiped about again but decided to get on the glider and get the blood moving for at least 17 … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 18

Fitness Progress Check In Day 17: It’s Okay to Not Be Okay

I did say I would be honest on this blog and I am holding myself accountable daily with my check in and workouts, even if myself and only 1 or 2 others read them.

Fitness Progress Check-In Day 16

Yesterday while amazing fitness wise, was a little stressful health-wise and today's health issues just got a little less complicated and more complicated at the same time.

Fitness Progress Check-In Day 13

After worrying about how I would wake up this morning after doing the yoga for IBS that I haven't done in over a year, I woke up pleasantly surprised that I was a bit sore, but did not re-injure myself in any way with this workout. I was disappointed, however that I was completely and … Continue reading Fitness Progress Check-In Day 13

Congee w/Fruit

When I was going to acupuncture for my IBS years ago, my acupuncturist recommended I make rice congee which she said was nourishing and healing for the digestive system. Whether it's sweet or savory she also said it would be easy to digest and is good for inflammation. Now more than ever, with my gastritis, … Continue reading Congee w/Fruit

Fitness Progress Check-In Day 5

Today started out like all the others, I got on my air walk trainer, and today, I set a new goal. 20 MINUTES!  20 minutes, which felt pretty easy, so I was on cloud nine!  I was then going to meet my friends at a NY Mets sponsored festival at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  … Continue reading Fitness Progress Check-In Day 5

Road to Health Part 2: From Irritable Life to A New Website for a New Journey

Diagnosed with IBS in 2001, I had really no way to deal with it other than 1 book I purchased then which I have no idea what the name of it is or where I have it now. My triggers as I found were small at first. I just had to avoid black pepper, and … Continue reading Road to Health Part 2: From Irritable Life to A New Website for a New Journey
