Finally Friday!!!

Happy Friday loves!!!! I am so elated that it is finally Friday!! I woke up early this morning in a little bit of pain but ok. I signed up to give blood before this flare up started.  I am a bit nervous but I think it should be fine. I think I will eat an actual pork sausage to get my iron up.  I typically eat turkey sausage and this week I have been drinking a veggie shake but I want to make sure I can actually give today. I am anemic and sometimes my iron levels aren't high enough to give. I am about to cut my music up and jam  through the house. Talk to you guys later!!

    On my playlist: 
Rise Up- Andra Day (inspirational)
Big Girls- Salt and Pepper (girl power)
Flawless- Bey (no explanation needed)
Don't Be So hard On Yourself- Jess Glynne (a little reminder)
I Understand- Smokie Norful (a little gospel)
Fall for you- Lella James (a little love)

Giving blood went well and didn't hurt nearly as bad as I thought. My blood is so bougie! It only comes out when it wants. Today it had to be coerced and even then it was sooo incredibly slow it took me almost an hour. The nurse had to keep moving the needle and call for back up so i am sure I will have a nice bruise later today. I am feeling pretty good right now!!! I feel like I could run a mile or at least walk to the lunchroom without being out of breath 😊😊😊😉 and my voice is back!!!!!!! Its been gone since Tuesday morning!! I just want to talk  to everybody!!! On Friday typically I hang out with my co-workers and my guy friend. I really hope I still feel good this afternoon so I can do the normal Friday stuff. Fingers crossed

Pain level-4 and rising BUT overall today was a good day! Goodnight all

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
