Still Trying

Tuesday, October 19, 2010

Yesterday's workout thanks to my fearless, wonderful, spark leaders encouragement to get up and move.

I am still having a multiple sclerosis flair which is greatly affecting my energy and strength. Today I still struggle with the flare falling asleep in the recliner three times today. My speech is slurred and slow, I had to get help from the window installer to get out of bed. My husband was outside painting. I was dressed napping and didn't have the strength to get up on my own. The window installer understood and knew I have MS so he was willing to offer a hand.

With her encouragement I managed to get in 10,305 steps, 1 hr. 35 min. of moderate activity, 43 min. of vigorous activity. 2,755 cal. burned.

    I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!! That's INCREDIBLE! emoticon emoticon

Oh, my friend, please be careful, though. IF you are going to do all of that, PLEASE, also TRIPLE your rest periods. emoticon That way, you get both benefits - the exercise benefit AND the rest benefit for the MS fatigue.

I am SO proud of you!! emoticon emoticon You are just an incredible person, incredible. I think I told you already, I am doing more physically because YOU have inspired me SO much! Your MS is a lot worse than mine and you do more! emoticon Thank you for the inspiration.

My love to you the rest of your day. Praying for you to have peace today AND to ultimately, find a wonderful doctor who will respect you and help you.

Your friend, Chelsea emoticon
