3 out of 4

10pm and I had not exercised this weekend. That would not be okay. So, I climbed on the treadmill at 10:10pm and began a 15 minute walk. It was still slow. It still feels like there are knots in my calf muscles. But, it wasn't as bad. 

All weekend,my yoga app has been yelling me as I started a 2 week program on Friday but haven't been on a mat since leaving my office on Friday. It's a break thing. I shall return tomorrow. Lord knows Monday's need a breathe and a stretch. 

And now, post walk? My legs are screaming but they were screaming before I got on the machine. I must get better. Fibromyalgia will not win. Sadly, exercise isn't a cure all, if a start, but I have to do something to try. 

I've exercised 3 times since initiating this habit 4 days ago. Not bad. Now to continue for week 2. 

Namaste.

Day 1 of a New Beginning, 2016

Wow. June 2014 was my only blog here. My dad died 2 weeks after that. So much change, so much transformation. A new focus on my health now, kind of. A 2016 focus on increasing my energy level. If I do not feel well, what can I do well? Believe it or not, this "kick" was inspired by a leadership class I'm taking at work.

Tonight, I exercised. 13 minutes at 2.0, 2 minutes at 1.5.I actually stated at 2.5 but they made my legs scream in pain. They have been in significant pain lately; I wake up and ouch. So, I started easy easier. Walked about 1/2 a mile. Then I stretched, followed by breathing.

My legs hurt. Tonight, they will be evidence of my new beginning.
