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!

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
