As I've posted, I plan to increase the jog portion of my jog/walking by 30 seconds -- probably on Sunday. I'm apprehensive about getting into a flare, but I have to try sometime. I know I have the cardiovascular ability to run a lot more than I am right now. It's just that my exercise-induced fibromyalgia flares prevent me from doing it. |

Finding difficulty maintaining focus in yoga sessions & disturbed sleep. This will probably last for a couple of weeks until my system adjusts to coping with new, drug free, lifestyle.
When I quit smoking, many years ago, I felt positively ILL for weeks. Just how it goes. I'm going for a nature ramble with a foraging book tomorrow to see what's there. I'm fascinated by how our ancestors would have lived. |

Things are going well for me. Sticking with my diet. Calorie counting well. Logging all my exercise. Have a pedometer and have been logging all sorts of awesome information with it. (so fun!) I have a very long walk coming up soonish. That 15 or so mile one I did a few weeks back... yep, tis time to visit my best bud again. Gonna be fuuuun, but I admit it's even more intimidating now that I know exactly what the walk is like. Haha. The dangerous roads, the painful hills, the sheer distance... buuuut, the scenery is amazing at times, with a lot of hilly, rural places. I go through some nice lil villages. Yeah, ultimately looking forward to it.
Oh, and I've been fasting. I'm on my 2nd fast today, and I've utterly nailed it. I'm at a lil over 200kcal and it's almost 8pm! (the max is meant ot be 600kcal) I'm hoping to see more weight lost when I weigh myself tomorrow. I'm currently still 183lbs, if I'm seeing the scales right. On none fasting days, I'm sticking with 2000kcal a day, and I've mostly managed to keep at it, but I did go a touch over yesterday... thanks to the glorious wonder that is cheesecake. CHEESECAKE. God, how I love cheesecake. x_x My maintainence is something like 2700-3000kcal so I don't mind if I go a touch over 2000 once in a while, since it's still a caloric deficit and I am still getting plenty of exercise. I'm eating very well. Salad every day. Keeping up with my protein shakes. I'm now lowering my carbs, aimng for 100-150 carbs a day, and 50-100 on fasting days. It's weird, because as much as I want and need this... I'm actually finding it all kinda fun. OH OH OH and I'm no longer overweight, according to the oh-so vague BMI. I'm at 24.8, which is ONLY JUST free from that label "overweight", (25+ being overweight, apparently) even though I still know I'm overweight, it's just that I've gained muscle and that weighs more. ¬_¬ BUT STILL, that's gotta count for something, riiiight? xD I'm happy, because I was "obese", with a BMI of about 30. (used to weigh 224lbs if not more.. I've been remembering it as 220 but actually, 16 stone is 224 so.. oops.)

I'm joining this check in. I am part of grateful one and I forgot about it until it started popping up in my email again. I find that helpful.
So have been juicing for 3 weeks. Went from 189 to 172. Goal is 130. Long way off. Soon time to start eating again. Need to keep focus on still losing when I start eating. Plus side of losing weight is my feet stopped hurting. It's been hurting every day for almost a year. Year every day one sued hurt that my body ended up being crooked and I didn't even notice. All I want to do is eat and eat so I don't know how I am going to control my eating habit. This one is about fitness. All I do is walk around the block. Not much exercise. |

I'm a little concerned. I have a resting heart-rate of 50, it seems. 50 right now, very anxious last night, resting was still at 56 or so. But 50? Jesus. That's the upper end for an athlete, apparently. I know I'm getting into shape, but DAAAAMN, I didn't think my heart was a little hardcore muscle man.

Have been feeling particularly depressed so am looking forward to my jog/walk today. It's below zero right now, actual temp, so just waiting for it to warm up a bit before I head out. Will be increasing my final jog by 30 seconds today and hoping to God it won't produce a fibromyalgia flare.
Self care = just forcing myself to carry on and get things done despite my bad depression. Just one foot in front of the other. Making a stew with my husband later on, so that'll be nice. Other than that, not much planned for the day. |

Hi Newgal,
Must be a bummer when it's cold for so long. But.... Spring is soon here. Went for a paddle in the sea today. Just look forward to the new year's growth. |

Decided to spend time 'on retreat' in the woods. C21 detox. Birdsong instead of radio. Cook over a fire. Running water from the stream. No phone, mass media or internet, so bye for now.

I get fibromyalgia flares if I do too much aerobic exercise. I hurt all over and am really tired - - for a couple of days. It really sucks, so that's why I've been very slowly increasing my jog time.

It was finally warm enough to go jog/walking with my dog Belle this morning. One more time of doing 4 one-minute jog bursts and then I'll add another 30 seconds of jogging. I wonder how long, at this pace, it'll take me to get up to a 5k lol

Went jog/walking with my dog Belle this morning again even though it was cold as hell out. I did add on the extra 30 seconds, so, mark my words, one of these days I'll be up to a 5k!
Self care will be my T appointment this afternoon. |

Oops, I see from my last post that the last time I went jog/walking I went with my dog Belle. I went with her again today even though it was my other dog's "turn." I think I'll do one more session of 4 one-minute jogs plus a 30-second jog and then I'll move up to 5 one-minute jogs.
I know it doesn't sound like much but it's as slow as I have to take it with my fibromyalgia. For self care, going to an AA meeting today and then have a horse riding lesson this afternoon - - unless my instructor cancels again due to the cold. |

went for a longish walk yesterday but it was windy and hard rain so it was horrible, but maybe it also did more good than just walking
im planning to go to the shop on monday and get some fruit/vegetables and then do another full day detox on tuesday. if that goes as planned is a different story... |

No fitness stuff lately. I've been holed up in my room to stay warm this winter.
For self care I just took a nice relaxing hot shower and I bought myself a nice piece of jewelry
