Date Weekend

Note: Start reading at "The Why"

What Happened:
This weekend I had a date and an outing with a friend from graduate school. My friend from graduate school came Friday. We always have so much fun!! I woke up sooo excited to prepare for the weekend! I worked my normal full day at work. What felt like the longest day ever!!!! When I finally got off it was time to drive the 35 min to get home and hope I beat my friend to my house. I didn't...lol but it was soooooo ok! Upon seeing him I had the biggest smile on my face. Although my legs hurt he was able to make me laugh and almost forget that my life was not all screwed up at the moment. It was so refreshing!!! Not to mention he is well rounded, highly educated, has a great head on his shoulders, hard worker and he is very handsome! We had a blast eating Mexican food and I even had a drink and it was delicious!!!! Like really delicious! Then we talked and laughed all night. He left just in time for class. I woke up excited and ready for my two classes and then prepare for my date. By this time my body was not really feeling awesome. I was exhausted and my legs hurt to walk. Why not cancel? Well, this was my first date in almost a year and honestly I needed it to get back in the swing of things, to make my life feel some sort of normalcy again. I met my date at Red Robin (endless fries so I'm cool). We talked well.....he talked. A Lot of talking, without me, lol. This was more of a monologue. An extended version of a very long boring monologue. I was not having fun at all. During one of his monologues I timed him....NINE MINUTES of talking and he never once asked me anything. So dinner finally ended and it was time to watch the movie. We went to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2. The movie was actually really good and yes he even talked through some of the movie. Lol amazing I know!!! So the movie and those "comfortable" seats....No! Just no!!! It was excruciating trying to sit in those seats for 2 hours and not move. I was fidgeting like a crack head on his first 24 hours of remission. It was not fun, not at all.  My legs were hurting, my feet were numb, my butt was hurting so incredibly bad
and it was just so very uncomfortable. I know for sure on this dating journey I will not be going on any more dates until I am healed. Whew!!! I survived though and the date was over. I could finally go home!!!!! Praise God and sweet baby Jesus!!

How I felt:
Friday was good!!
Saturday morning was good but Saturday night with the not so hot date and the not so comfortable movie seats was......not so good!

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...
