Update on My health

I have not posted anything about my health for awhile because I was afraid if I did it would come back full force. The only trouble I am having with my lungs now for about the last month or so is when it is humid, I then need my inhalers and once in awhile the nebulizer......AMEN to that after having to neb 3 times daily for almost 2 months. My strength is back full force and for the last month I have been walking again trying hard to rid myself of all the weight again. I was very happy that it only took me one week to get back to where I left off in January and now am at a minimum of 8000 steps, closer to 10,000 6 days a week. At this time last year I had to fight to get in 5000 a day in 4 days a week. Yes I am pushing myself hard and my doctor told me to be careful and listen to my body and I can honestly tell you I am. If I do not feel like walking I do not do it as I do not want my fibro flaring up. I have found that my legs are pretty much now almost solid muscle so have had some low back issues while walking and am in physical therapy for that which makes me very happy as the exercises he is giving me to do also work on my flabby tummy. Now I just pray the weight starts to fall off. Being on prednisone 4 times since January and being down for 5 months really added it right back on and prior I was finally getting happy with my body and now I am again disgusted with it. PATIENCE is a very hard thing for me to have when it come to this issue, I am trying though and know it did not go on over night and will not go away that way either. I will continue to work at it as best as I can without jeapordizing the rest of my health. 

The reason this is such an issue with me is that I know if I am not happy with myself I can not be happy with anyone else either, we make our own happiness then can spread it amongst others. And this weight issue makes me very unhappy and self-conscience with myself, so I am doing all I can to change it. Plus this added weight is not good for my health either I feel so much less pain when I am thinner, plus I am not as easily stressed when I weigh less either. So in my eyes it is a must that this weight goes and as soon as I can get it off.

Am glad today is an off day as we are now getting thunderstorms here in Minnesota after a week of high heat and humidity. Yes I still walked but very early in the morning and later in the evening and have kept myself well hydrated. I hope you all can send positive thoughts that this mission I am on is successful and sooner then it was last year.
