Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis Dec 4th, 2012. Currently writing something 🤫

Trying to reach fitness goals, reading goals, writing goals, eat what I like (and not gain the weight back 😅), all while trying not to melt in TX

🧡
Whoops, forgot to post a few days 😅😅😅

Next time will be 15mins on the elliptical o⁷

.37miles - 14:07

Your strength isn’t measured by how much you can do.

It’s measured by how much you keep going through:

pain, fatigue, fog, overwhelm, uncertainty.

You’re stronger than you realize.

.26miles in 12mins 03secs

Those who walk 100 miles should consider themselves halfway there on the 99th - A random quote I read

Giving myself 2 rest days for legs. Also increased stretching a lil to make sure legs still moved a bit.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Time to start training for next year's MS150 (since I'm part procrastinator 😅😅😅)

Cycling took the majority of time, but I'm using a gym bike so I don't have proper measurements

Core, legs, and back exercises for August.

Always nice having an app show you how far you've gone 🧡

#MultipleSclerosis #WorldMSDay is May 30th, which means it's time to bring out the Orange!

Walk a mile for Multiple Sclerosis, a good amount of us can't anymore, finish the mile if you see someone w/ MS posting what they were able to do, post selfish! (You'll see me rocking my jersey)

I need MS Dr's to start using new tests to check progression.

"Okay, now show me how you get out of bed. Next test, w/o touching your legs, move one behind the other, show me high knees"

First post!

Expect more of this, along with a few rants about living with #MultipleSclerosis

One day I'll post a pic (let me get my "swole" on before putting me in front of a camera)

No elliptical today, TX humidity went up cause of the rain DX
