So you know how talked about exercise in one of my earlier posts, well my fitness plan has gone by the wayside lately and I'm a Tai Chi instructor! I am trying to get my self back on track. Can you relate to today's picture? How is your fitness plan going during this quarantine? How about healthy eating habits?

I was working back up stamina after my winter-long respiratory virus (which we now suspect was actually Covid, we're getting our insurance to apy for tests to find out, b/c I did have non-flu-type symptoms, etc.)...

Anyway... I was dong that, and just as it began! WHAM! lockdown
WHAM! I sprained my ankle.
WHAM! Oh (bleeeeeeep!)

Still, what I can do, I do. I remember being bedridden, and I do exercises from that period of my life, and just... every little bit, y'know?

So maybe tai before you chi? ;-P

I'd love to try tai chi someday from a good isntruc tor. Yoga was a blessing in my life, and I am unable to do it by doc orders due to body dmage, but maybe tai chi, right?

Mmm, pizza. I remember pizza. It was on my pre-op nutritionist's list of things I'd never eat again once I had my weight loss surgery back in 2018. Losing 110lbs was worth it, but my mouth still waters at your just mentioning pizza here. Mmm.

I'm keeping my weight down by following that nutritionist's guidelines and by walking 30 minutes a day and posting about it here on DS PTSD on the Walk A Day thread. My surgeon said after hitting my lowest weight post-op I'd gain back 10 lbs in my first post-op year. Thankfully, keeping to those guidelines and walking twice a day I've kept my rebound down to less that 10lbs, down to 7lbs instead, of which I'm proud. Fingers crossed!

I joined WW.... being on prednisone for months has been horrible for weight gain. Today was the first day I got activity in that was 'exercise.' I danced for 30 minutes and had so much fun! May just do it again tomorrow.

    Lately I've been feeling scared and full of anxiety. I recently found a lump under my nipple. I hurt my back too. I'm in the process of moving. I'm run down. Everything is hard

    Well, our drought isn't broken but our gutter is. Got two big storms rigth after each other and, wait for it, a tornado warning.Now, I was already running for my go-bag when I heard thunder. The air felt wrong. The sky was getting  a color to the west. Been there, lived that, time to hide.No  funnel touched down but the radar indicated rotation, and boy was it visible from the ground.
