My nemesis and the most evil thing I encounter…the scale

My nemesis and the most evil thing I encounter…the scale

Normally this is supposed to be Monday’s post. For some reason I was feeling good today so I took out the mean, horrible, evil scale.  I’m sure you can tell by my tone how this went. I have to say except for an isolated chocolate chip cookie from Panera Bread (really good I might add) I’ve been really healthy. I use to eat pizza once a week I’ve had it one time in the last four weeks. I haven’t gone…

I’m not tired, I’m fatigued Multiple Sclerosis silent symptom

I’m not tired, I’m fatigued Multiple Sclerosis silent symptom

  MS fatigue one of the most difficult symptoms to explain and deal with. 80% of all MS patients deal with this at some point or another.  Fatigue is way past a feeling of tired is to the point of absolute exhaustion. It’s the feeling that each limb is 100lbs heavier than it is.  Just walking the few steps to a bathroom is daunting and overwhelming.  It never fails you’ll be talking to a friend and you’ll say I’m tired…

A positive attitude makes all the difference

A positive attitude makes all the difference

Home – The Mystic Jesus I belong to a few MS websites that offer community support for people with MS or their families. I’m sure that most diseases have websites for this. That in itself can be a blog topic but we will let it go for today. One post has been in the back of my mind since I saw it. The caption read “MS ruined my life”. Now I’m the first to admit I’ve had bad days with…

A parents take when a child has MS

A parents take when a child has MS

Everyday we live it.  We deal with the feelings, lack of feelings, the daily challenges and frustrations.  However how we do we affect our loved ones around us? I can’t talk about husband because I don’t have one anymore. I can talk about my daughter who takes on a big chunk of the weight because she lives with me but I’m not.  I want to talk about the parents. My parents divorced when I was 4. My mother remarried when…

Giving up the scale post 3

Giving up the scale post 3

http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/well-good/inspire-me/82602708/Fitness-bloggers-photos-prove-weight-really-is-just-a-number The scale number wasn’t as friendly today. When I look in the mirror I feel better though.  I know that yesterday I had a high carbohydrate day which definitely can influence the scale. However again this was the main reason that I put away the scale. The scale is a number and we as females give that number way too much power.  I am 8 weeks into my 12 week P90X program. I know from doing this program before…

Yoga with MS

Yoga with MS

Two chairs, two yoga blocks, one strap I don’t know what to do with and one dog toy dropped off by my marshy when I finally collapsed on the floor.  First let me say Tony Horton YogaX kicked my ass.  He has you do vinyasas between every move. Is this a normal thing? Oh and he’s so gracious that you can do a push up if you’d like. If I’d like? I could barley do a downward dog. Well I have…

Why did I start a blog?

Why did I start a blog?

http://Www.blogstarting.org I would love to insert some fabulous answer here that enlightens everyone but I don’t have one. I one day woke up with the idea of starting a blog. I first mentioned the idea to my daughter who was like “ok mom”.  Wasn’t a response dripping in support but coming from a 17 year old one might read into those two words as “that’s an idea”. I knew the one person that would give an honest response was my…

Thank you universe

Thank you universe

A very exciting thing happened to me yesterday. My favorite spiritual teacher is Gabby Bernstein.  I belong to her monthly membership and for the first month ever she did a live call with her members. The fist amazing thing is I forgot about it.  At 5:57 I picked up one of my 2 iPads and one of her websites were opened. I have no idea how I wasn’t even on her site recently but thank you universe seeing the site reminded…
