Today was a bit rough. The other pillow I used isn't great, but the pain in my neck although still there, was a lot less than yesterday. I did wake up a bit exhausted with dizziness and and pain in my legs, but I was determined to get on that glider at least for a … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 52: Overcoming Your Fears
With Comic Con around the corner (next Thursday 10/09 through Sunday 10/12 to be exact), I was getting super excited after feeling the fog lifting and feeling a bit more strength in my body. Last night the downturn began again. The addition of my esophagitis worries came back like a boomerang. I was getting a … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 51
Two Saturday's ago I attempted to go outside and take a walk and that sparked a panic and fear in me as I was left with shaky, unstable, heavy legs that felt like jello, a worrying dizziness with every step I took as well as a feeling that I my body was just going to … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 50: Putting One Foot in Front of The Other
Soo much more has transpired in the past few days that my head is spinning like a Tilt A Whirl amusement park ride. What has me even more wound up? More pain. I have had overall body pain for a while but in these past few weeks it has really been excruciating. Soo much so … Continue reading Is this Karma From a Past Life Coming for Me?
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
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
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
Before I started a set exercise schedule last month, I had soo many days, weeks where I was utterly wiped out. Since I started up again, the days where I was too dog-tired to do anything were becoming less and I noticed I was able to push through the exhaustion which was very encouraging. Today … Continue reading Fitness Progress Check-In Day 11
I looked at the calendar and saw that today marks 1 month since I began exercising again and Day 11 of checking in online and holding myself accountable. Today I did only 11 minutes on the glider, and 50 pullbacks with the resistance band, plus 20 gentle squats. I also took my lunch hour to … Continue reading Fitness Progress Check-In Day 10
