Self Talk Battle

Note: Start reading at "The Why"

What Happened:

Today was extremely rough!!! My entire body hurts to be touched. I feel like hot worms are crawling through the sand all over my body. I cried most of the way to work because sitting and pushing the gas pedal are two very painful tasks right now. Task....funny that word is used a lot at work. It usually is not only things the clients are to do but typically something not preferred.so it is followed up with a reinforcement.  The drive there I did my normal self pep talk to get me motivated. It went like this " I cant do this, Yes I can I have to, I should just call in, If I call in now its too late to find a sub, I cant be touched and the kids will touch me- they always touch me, if I go back then I've only wasted gas coming, just get out of the car already. Then my mom called and my mind was distracted and I had to put on a happy face and voice, even though I know she can tell. I played it off.
Todays task list was:
1. Drive to the city I work in
2. Stop crying
3. Walk in Kroger and get 2 bananas
4. Drive to work
5. Walk in 
6. Have a good day and don't leave early.
7.                (typically where we would put the reinforcing item that would make me want to complete the above. Nothing, I have nothing. 

Lol then I got a text from my immediate supervisor saying we were short handed today and that staff would be swapped around to cover the 4 people that called in sick. So there my answer was.... I was going to work. I pulled up and waited for my legs to say it was ok to get out. I did! I walked in with me feet screaming and the clothes on my body piercing my skin. BUT  I walked in and I stayed!!! BUT GOD!!!! I have now been in bed for hours all to no avail and now my butt and hips hurt. Lol! Maybe I will get plenty of sleep because I have 3 classes tomorrow plus work.

How I feel:
Like a human pin cushion with no visible pins. I cut on my air today because it is HOT but now the cold air is piercing my skin and my everything hurts. Dear God, please just allow the pain to be better tomorrow. I am reminded of the song and my pastors' message on Sunday that  God will never put more on you than you can bare. Whewww He knows I am stronger than I feel lol. So tomorrow will be a  better day!

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...

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...

It's Valentine's Day

Note: Start at "The Why" What Happened: It's Valentine's Day!!!! A special day, right? Well not so much for the single and shut in the house. Blah! I was off work all of 3 hours and I was bored! After texting my colleges (The Dream Team) and knowing I wouldn't be there for 2 days I began to just figure it out myself. So I opened my google search engine. (I know I know the worst thing you can do) What causes extreme and prolonged muscle cramps? The possibilities were so vague and lets just be real I wasn't  going to read all of them. So...gift time. Yes I am single but my dad gets me a gift for Valentine's Day every year. Outside of one year this is the only one I've ever gotten. This one is special because it's from my daddy. The one man I know will never let me down, who will always be there no matter what. Who other than God, is the only man that loves me unconditionally, my daddy! I checked my phone and nothing. Hmmm, so I text my sibling ...
