On Sunday I had a rough day where my brother and I missed a class we had, but he reminded me to just be in the moment and let it flow. He's been reading a book by Shannon Lee who talks about her father Bruce Lee and his teachings, lessons he learned in life and … Continue reading Fitness Check-In Day 87: When it Rains it Pours
Since I stopped taking the PPI Voquezna, my stomach has had a LOT of ups and downs. Soo much so that I called out sick which I rarely do. The exhaustion as I mentioned in my prior post was brutal to the point I had to sneak in naps where I could to get through … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 86: The Clouds Are Parting
Last night I got the referral forms to get tested for C-Diff and check my levels of Calprotectin and made an appointment today to pick up the vials. It was very early in the morning but it was already 78 degrees or so and I felt it. I got what I needed from the lab … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 85: Nervous Nelly
I made two videos which were unusable which touched on all of this and then another one on Sunday night that goes into some of what's been going on and can be viewed here for those that would rather watch a video.

My last fitness check in was March 18th. Since then I dropped off my mile walks because of the plantar fascia pain that I was scared injuring myself further.

Turns out … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 80
After a rough few days where my mood dipped down to the dark pits I have worked soo hard to climb out of again, I was determined to pull myself out of it yesterday.

Then came the gastritis and the foods I could eat became even less. I stopped cooking and baking a lot of what I loved, but … Continue reading Struggling With Foods You Can’t Have
As I have mentioned in the previous motivational video, I was proud to have been walking a mile a few times a week until I fell in the bathtub and bruised my back. I have been in pain off and on, but two days after I fell, I walked a mile and then a few … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 77: Yoga to Quell the Stress
