One day at a time Sweet Jesus!!

Did anyone else accomplish something they have been wanting to do?  

I walked, that's right, I did it..and know more headaches...hip hip hurray!

Jerrie, I agree with... one day at a time and where there is a will there is a way. It is possible do accomplish goals, we need to believe it can be done...having a positive mindset helps :)

I'm so glad that you got a walk in today and that your headache is gone. Walking helps me with stress, it gives me energy. builds muscle, and makes me happy!!! Jerrie, start out slow and increase
your distance...before you know it, you will be walking farther than you ever dreamed. There are days where I'm able to walk just over 3 miles...it took awhile to get to that point, but well worth it. Follow your dreams :)

Hugs, Robin

awwhh thanks Robin!!

I am determined to get myself into better physical shape. It's been almost a year since I've been working and I don't feel much better than I did then. What I've realized lately is that my stamina has gone..

so, I'll do as you said a little every day and when I have a bad day I won't condemn myself but try again when I'm better.

I'm ready to starting fighting for ME!  I want a better quality of life, I know it won't be like before and that has been a big hard pill to swallow..but I can make it better by trying and not giving into this illness..

I'll let you know how I'm doing..

hope you are having a great evening..

Jerrie

My God shall supply ALL my needs!

Whoo-hoo!

WOW, Jerrie!  I'm jumping for joy!  I'm soooo glad you tried and saw you can do it.  I struggled when I started, too, but now I can walk distances with ease.  I generally walk one mile a day but the weather has been so wonderful, I'm going for two one mile walks each day.  It really will help your pain.  But, as Robin pointed out, start out slowly and ease into it.  Walk a little further each day and before you know it, it will become so much easier to do!

 

I'm really, really proud of you for taking the initiative to do something uncomfortable to help yourself.  Pretty soon you just might find walking enjoyable.  I sure do.  I love to look around at my neighbors' homes and how they landscape things, look at the flowers, see the squirrels watching me, etc.  It's so peaceful and sure makes you thankful, too.

Sherrine,

Yes, I love looking at the neighbors landscape and we live near the water. so that is also relaxing..I love to walk it was just the agony of not sure I could or how I'd feel afterward...I am tired and feel like I'm on that ship again...(my definition of fog) but I plan on keeping it up..I will be the first to admit I've been on this weird journey of ok, I'm dx with all these things and I can't do this or that anymore...so poor me..

But I'm tired of that mentality and I just hope that any newbies that might be reading this takes all your helpful info in 101 to heart...The first step in fighting this illness and feeling better about where your headed is YOU!

I know I say it alot but I'm so thankful for this forum..you have helped me on so many levels...

And my dog Sonny is very very happy I've decided to walk...

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend...take a chance and step out in faith and try to do something that maybe you haven't done in a long time...even the smallest will make you feel better, I promise!

My dog Sabra loves that I walk, too.  She goes with me.  She is fourteen years old but runs like a puppy because she gets great exercise through my walking.  I'm hoping to be extending her lifespan, since she is so precious to me. 

 

Now, Jerrie, you are starting to get a taste of freedom again!  Fibro has kept you in bondage and you allowed it.  But now, YOU are going to be the boss and in control of this lousy illness and have a wonderful life ahead of you.  I still will have an occasional day I don't walk, but I usually do, even if I feel horrible.  I figure, I'll feel horrible wherever I am so I might as well get a little exercise and sunshine and it just might make me feel better.  You know what?  It usually does!  Keep on truckin', my friend!
