It has been over a year since I’ve pulled out my yoga mat. Today, I changed that.
As I’ve mentioned, my fatigue has crippled any energy for most of the past year. Which of course has meant no energy for anything, let alone yoga or any exercising.
On top of the fatigue, I had gained 20 pounds quite rapidly from mid-January this year to mid-February. I had no changes in anything; diet, exercise, and medications had not changed. I am now at the heaviest weight I have ever been. Now here it is almost May, the fatigue is waining, which means I’m doing more things but the weight continues to climb.
After several doctors’ visits and nothing seemingly wrong. Between endocrinologist, primary care, hormone specialists, gastrointestinal and neurologists, there is nothing that would cause the sudden weight gain, I am realizing how important it is for me to move my body. Even if it’s just stretching. Today, I did an 18 mintue beginning pilates🧘♀️ video for the lower body. Even beginner videos I still find myself needing to modify poses as my body is so weak. But, I still did it!
Coming up this week, I’m doing the Denver MS Walk 🧡.
So, I’m hoping that I’ll keep up stretching and moving my body so I can yet again feel semi comfortable in my own skin.
Here’s to a healthy version of Rini… enjoy your cups today. 💧☕️
