What The Crap!!!!

Note: Start at "The Why"

What Happened:
Today I was able to teach my fitness class. The pain was agonizing and the fear of moving the wrong way and causing the pain was worse. I did more instructing than participating, which I hate doing. I love being a part. Not only does it allow me to go into the trenches with my class but it helps my cardio too. That afternoon a younger family member and a their friend was going to come over to my house. I picked them up. Leaving my parents house my right arm cramped up. We were at a stop sign and knew it was going to be bad. I cut on my hazard lights and set my phone so my family member could reach it. I eased away from the stop sign and begin to go. My left arm then locked up. I was not able to drive. I carefully instructed  my underage passenger on what to do to steer us of the road. We slowly guided my car to the side of the road and out of harms way. I then told my passenger what to push on my phone to contact my parents who were not far. My mom came immediately. By this time my jaw had locked back up and I could do nothing but cry. I was so hurt emotionally that I couldn't be the strong person I wanted to be. I kept my face hidden and cried silently while I looked straight ahead. Is this life? My mom drove us to my house and I went to bed. I left emergency contacts and the password to my phone written beside my bed just in case something happened over night.

How I felt:
Scared! I was scared!!!! Will I be able to continue my fitness classes? Will I lose my followers and my dream of owning my own studio? When is this going to stop??? Should I stop driving? Ughhh

Silver Lining

Silver lining- a term used when you want to emphasize the hopeful side or remain optimistic The past few days have been rough. Yesterday was rough for my body and today along with my body my mind/emotions decided to escape me. I honestly am tired. I am tired of hurting. I am tired of pretending Im ok. I'm tired of smiling on the outside but feeling empty on the inside. I am just tired.  Today like many others I went to work, helped change lives. Then I taught my fitness class to help women reach their goals. One woman reported she had lost 13lbs in the last 3 weeks. I am truly happy for her and this is why I push through it. Today I am having a hard time finding the silver lining of my situation. Today my body is better than it was yesterday so I have just tried to focus on this fact. However the shooting random pains in my feet when I walk, my face when I talk and my back when I breathe have really taken a toll on me. My everything hurts. I punched the air in a routine and I had

Straight Shot

Note: Start reading at "The Why" What Happened: Today was  a normal day. By normal I mean feet burning, legs hurting blah blah blah. I went to work, taught a boot camp class then went to another fitness class. On the way to the class my body felt really odd. My face was a little numb feeling and the left side of my neck had like a shooting pain going up. I just massaged it and shook it off. I started class and begin to jump. There was a sharp pain that went from my left heel to my hip. It startled me and I stopped briefly. It actually scared me. My left arm went numb. I tried to keep smiling and just instruct so that the class couldn't tell I was in excruciating pain. I attempted to turn around and give a que and the pain shot straight up from my foot to the top of my head. I was absolutely terrified. I knew then I could not continue the class. I stood very still and told the class that I was sorry but I would have to end class. Luckily two of my three original members

The Day My Life Changed

What Happened: It's funny they say you don't remember a traumatic event, well I remember! (Yes I know compared to some my event is not horrible but for me it has been) Feb 10th started off as a normal Friday. I went to work as normal, taught an aerobic class and went to Wal-Mart. After being in Wal-Mart approximately 20 min and standing in a VERY long line my calf muscles begin to burn on both legs. Of course when you workout as much as I do you go through shoes pretty frequently, with this in mind I figured that I just needed new shoes. The pain and burning got so bad...I took them off. After checking out I hobbled to my car. I took my passenger by Wendy's (which we did every Friday after class). At this point I still felt a little pain in my legs but overall just felt weird. With driving 3/4 mi from the drive through while eating a french fry (healthy right?😏) my jaw locked up. I was completely unable to move it. I tried to keep a calm face even though I was freake
