Flare. Just starting. Joints hate me. So do words, which are getting tangled in my brain and not making it to my tongue.
Used the recumbent bike this morning, 20 mins while watching the news. Felt good. This is after a 12.4 mile bike ride Sunday on the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. Still using my FatSecret app, and really working hard at picking the right things. I feel good about all that. Want to aim for 30 mins at least 5 times a week, between yoga, elliptical and bike in the basement, and walking/riding the trail on the weekends. Also making sure I keep red meat to only 2x a week.
Hoping the flare isn't cause of the exercise. Usually I can do the bike thing ok, and the yoga.
Less than a week till Kelsey comes home. =)
Lots of indepth discussions during therapy last night. Not often I walk out of there going "OMG..." but last night was definitely one, and it mostly dealt with the patterns locked in and passed on to our children - both from my own standpoint, and that of Kelsey and Tyler. Of course, it only happened in the last 10 mins, so lots to think through.
Feel like I weigh 1000 lbs. My fingers are heavy. Moving is such an effort. Totally feeling wrapped in a cocoon inside myself, looking out from a long ways away.
Oh! AWESOME new favorite app on my iphone - my audiobook service Audible.com has an app that ties into your account. My account is on hold, and I just finished my last (or so I thought) book and was looking at spending $30 on a new one to listen to on the way in to work...but turns out I have several I have yet to listen to still on my audible account, that I somehow "lost" in between my old iPod getting stolen out of my car, my new iPod not syncing right and then switching to my iPhone. So psyched. And when these are done I'll reactivate my membership cause its SO MUCH CHEAPER than iTunes.
