Happy Hump Day!!!

If only I had a camel that would walk across the screen... or in real life! Man that would be so cool!!

Today here it is cold and rainy. My skin feels as if I have 3rd degree burns across my entire body, my fingers and legs hurt. One different symptom for this time is my back and neck having pain. Last year I don't remember it affecting my torso this much. Up both sides of my neck across my shoulders and down my right side of my back feel that they are in constant strain. I have a full day of work ahead of me and it is currently not going too well. I have on a hoodie and sweats. Due to the my skin burning when  the wind blows or when something touches it I put on a tighter fitting long sleeve shirt to act as a second layer of skin that would protect my actual skin. Today seems like the day where everyone is touching me!!! I just want to scream out but instead I scream silently in my head.This has helped a lot. I also joined a support group on Facebook but they seem to complain a lot and it seems like there is not ever anything happy that happens to them. LOL I try to keep the complaining to a minimum and focus on the good things.

One of the things that has helped me through is setting small goals such as: make it to the car, make it in the house, make it through work, buckle up... then I cheer myself on when I reach these small goals. I also listen to music as much as possible. If you're just getting to know me I looooove music! It calms me and gives me energy. I have gone gluten free and am not eating sugar or meat this week. Right now I just want something good. Something fried and or something chocolate. Or some mac and cheese would be so comforting right now.  Enough about food. I am at work and we just won our special needs basketball game.  I am so excited!!! I cant wait to see what else great happens today! I will update you guys soon. Have an amazing day!!

P.S: If this doesn't make sense I am heavily medicated so forgive me! LOL!!

OMG! OMG! OMG! 5-1

Note: Start at "The Why" What Happened: Today was an ok day. I worked all day chasing after clients. I taught one fitness class that uses equipment that I have to grip and hit. The pain usually comes when I hit the equipment together so I have learned to hold my left pointer finger up instead of allowing it to grip with the others. The pain is a radiating vibrating pain that goes down my finger. It is excruciating, but I have learned to adapt. In this class we also sit on the ground which is becoming harder and harder. I now have severe pain in my hips and back when sitting down. But I made it through the day! The class! and now its time for another class that requires more equipment, heavy equipment like big tractor tires and  such. Well I loaded all 4 tires, plus heavy weighted bars and various other equipment. Got to the location feeling ok so I moved the 30 plus chairs and 8 tables that needed to be moved. Luckily my friend, my right hand woman in class showed up and h...

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...
