Hello World! So yesterday I decided to embark on a challenge to get finally get myself fit again. I went from being in 7 sports teams at school, to not having ran once in 6 months 😁 The challenge with Fibromyalgia is that constant pain makes you fear any strenuous activity. I've been learning over the years which type of pain I can try to ignore and read about the benefits of building strength to fight this thing (this also comes doctor recommended 👌). So this year, my fitness will go from the bottom of my priority list, where I'm too tired and in too much pain to bother after a long day at work, straight up to numero 1 💪 Starting slow and steady and building up. Normally a 20 min walk can knock me out and I need to look these little guys 💊 to sit through a meeting, get through a meal, get to sleep, and to make it out of bed the next morning. Being dependent on OxyContin & friends is no picnic, and a strategy of relying on these to appear "normal" is just not sustainable🚫 I love photos and Instagram, but it's not the day to day reality (but at least perhaps proof I can do good marketing!) My Dream this year is to get off meds for good 🌻 3 years ago I was on over 50 pills a day, now it's closer to 10 👍 But I've been stuck on 10 for a year, and recently stress etc has doubled that again. The Plan: 👣 get on my feet. Sports Up - Meds Down = #SUMD 🙈 and that Someday is today 🎉 I'm not broken, I'm just weak and my mind has been fighting the battle alone for too long, time to get my booty involved - and hey, maybe develop some kickass abs along the way 😉 Thank you always for your love and support x
