Rise Up

Note: Start at "The Why"

Hello, Happy Thursday!!! I hope your Thursday is going well and it is dry where you live. Here it is rainy and cold still. I am not a fan of the rain or cold or maybe its just when they combine forces. I left off on yesterday saying I would fill you in on something great that happened on Wednesday. Well.....I am alive and that is amazing!!! Wednesday night was long as I am in grad school and we met for what seemed like an eternity 9pm-11pm. Because I wanted to stay awake for class I did not take my meds until 11pm. WHEWWWWW that made for a rough night. However, I manged to get 5hours of sleep. I woke up this morinig with  my back very tight and my neck hurting and I am out of pain meds 🙍 But I decided  that today was going to be a good day. I work til 5:30 then plan on taking a nap before I teach tonight at 8pm. I can not wait for my nap!!! It's  going to be amazing. I can feel it! This morning when I woke up I started singing Rise Up by Andra Day.  I love how God gives me songs to hold to. Here are the lyrics: I highlighted the parts that meant something special to me

"You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains

 And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again
And I'll rise up
High like the waves
I'll rise up
In spite of the ache
I'll rise upAnd I'll do it a thousands times again"                                         ⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩


Well, I got off a little early then met with a friend which made me a little late for my nap. But today my mom got my prescription of Tramadol filled so I am very thankful. I was able to take it and drink a spark (Advocare-I am a distributor) right before my nap. Because my nap time was cut short I decided to nap in my car. I keep blankets, socks, water and a snack just in case something happens. I grabbed my blanket and slept like a baby for about an hour. That nap helped me sooo much during class. So I have the mindset where if I am in pain then I do the harder songs so I can focus. My usual's know if the class is extra hard I'm in pain but have no fear I do give a modified version so that people don't pass out. During class I started getting into the songs and decided to jump. . . . bad idea!! OOOOH LAWD, sweet baby Jesus, barnacles, hotdogs, sugar plums....I had to look down because I was pretty sure my legs broke. Both of them! They didn't but I decided jumping probably wasn't that good of an idea I tried to do low impact the remainder of the class. I did well. They did amazing!!! They had no idea that I was in pain and they burned 773 calories in 58 min. I feel soooooo great. Amazing actually like I can do anything. On the way home I felt dizzy and nauseous so I decided to stop and check my bp 150/90. I know this is a little high because this is exactly what it was when I went to the doc in a box a few weeks ago.  I did jot this down for future references when I go to the doctor.  I was in a lot of pain then too so I am almost certain it is the same thing today. Because I took my meds around 6:45 I can not take it until I wake up in the morning. I am not looking forward  to tonight but...I'll rise up in spite of the ache! And for that I am thankful and I know whatever tomorrow holds....I will  make it!

Bang Dem Sticks

Note: Start at "The Why" What Happened: I teach a class called Pound. It is amazing class with drumsticks that you bang together and lots of movement up and down, on the ground, back and forth. It is an amazing full body workout that I absolutely love. Today's class was horrible! Absolutely horrible! I went to hit my sticks together and my pointer finger radiated with pain. I dropped my sticks (which very rarely happens to me). I kept teaching but let go of my left stick. When we got down to the ground my hip area hurt so bad that I could barely sit, much less move side to side. I was in so much pain throughout the class. I managed to smile through the class but I just wanted to cry. But there are people to help get fit and no time or crying. My fingers also feel like I have blisters on them when I text or use them to type. And without texting you cant post to FB, IG, or talk to friends. I do all of the above a lot. Today was a very quiet day. How I felt: Scared. Wi...

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...

What did you Say?

Note: Start reading at "The Why" What Happened: Today I am so nervous and excited because to day is the day!! I am so hopeful that today would be the day that I find answers. I will go to bed knowing why my body is jacked up. Jacked all the way up!!! I am so excited I can hardly adult! In my planner my appointment is at 10 but in my phone it is at 1pm. I meant to call the doctor then the day got crazy. I showed up at 10 to find out my appt. was at 1pm and they would not see me early. So I went back to work then went back to the doctor at 1pm. I walked in gave him my journal where I have been keeping up with symptoms and all of that jazz. He ran blood work and told me that the nerve test looked good (I already knew these things because I BROUGHT it to him) lol. He was talking so fast!!! "It could be a brain tumor, arthritis, cyst on your bones, blood disorders or something more" he said. Ummmmm what did you say? I was so confused trying to take it all in, hear it ...
