A new year, a new project

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 [...]

MS… and misunderstanding

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 [...]

Where to begin… again… ???

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 [...]

Stress

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.  [...]

P90X Day 33

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 [...]

P90X Day 30

Uggghhh My weight is not dropping.  My strength is dramatically improving.  I can do more push-ups or more ab work or simply just more every day, but the weight is not coming off.  I can feel my muscles growing.  I can feel my strength increasing. My diet is great.  I eat well.  I eat good [...]

P90X Week 3 and into Week 4

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 [...]

P90X Day 9-12

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 [...]

P90X Day 6-8

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 [...]

P90X Days 4-5

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 [...]
