I have to admit that I feel that my body betrayed me. With MS it just does not behave the way it did and I don’t really like it. But somewhere along the way I betrayed my body. I will begin the work of changing that today. When I was diagnosed and put on such [...]

This past weekend was a terrific event to raise money for awareness and research for Multiple Sclerosis in the WDC area. The event was Bike MS: Beyond the Beltway. My plan was to ride. So many things got in my way though. I could say that I was full of excuses, but I believe I [...]

It has been so long since I have been blogging. Since being hospitalized and then diagnosed with MS my world has been a little different. My main reason for silence here is that I have not had the mental or physical strength to handle my day-to-day life and to share my thoughts with anyone. Being [...]

How did I end up with so much stress in my life? How do I reduce it? It is affecting my health. I lost a lot of weight under severe stress when my ex walked out. I gained back a fair amount of it going into the holidays last year under a bunch of stress. [...]

Getting back to the good hard workouts by moving into Phase II has helped my hope. I love the good sore muscles I am left with after working out with Tony Horton. Phase II is full of all kinds of new and different workouts and I love it. I honestly have not stepped back on [...]

Wow. I am still continuing to see a steady increase in my strength. I am doing more of the pushups on my toes rather than knees and I am doing more reps. I am not happy yet with my weight loss. I have only lost 5 pounds in 3 weeks. I know that is a [...]

I know know I can do this. I know that I can go 90 days. I know that this will make an awesome difference. I am starting to see a difference and I did not think that was remotely possible after 12 days. It feels like I am finally winning the battle against my stress [...]

Whew. The beginning of week two. First I just want to say I LOVE Kempo. That was an awesome workout. I was also so incredibly thrilled to reach ‘rest day’. It helped a lot to give the body a short break before working some more. Today was day 8. Back to chest and back workout [...]

Day 4 – YogaX This was tough. The first 1/2 hour was really grueling. The 2nd 1/2 hour was very tough. But the last 1/2 hour was full of really good stretches. I definitely have lots of room to grow in my yoga. There were a couple of things that I could not do at [...]
