I haven’t posted anything on my blog for a while, for those that follow it I am not giving in with it.
I am having a little confidence knock which I believe to be a part of my anxiety/depression & my MS.

It is becoming increasingly harder for me to cope with a lot of technology and so I am trying to have a cut back & a ‘low tech’ time!
This is proof that even us happy, cheery people aren’t always what they seem on the outside!

This is my #invisiblefight to get me back!

Remembering how I was 2 years ago…

image

Looking back at my MS journey… 2 years ago I had to start using 2 walking sticks all the time!

How I am now… wow!
I’m gonna enjoy it & not take days like these for granted because the horrible thing about this disease is it can all change in a heart beat!

The best thing though is its because of me that I’m stronger! Shere will & determination!

#MSFactFriday Fact #1 Fatigue

image

I’m guessing us MegaSpecials we’ll feeling a wee bit fatigued tomorrow!

Bring it on! It’s gonna be so much fun!
The happiest 5k it’s called, ‘The Color Run’ is coming to Birmingham tomorrow & I’m taking part with a team of my friends! So, 3 of us have MS & the rest are our support team to make sure we get round ok & push the wheelchairs when our legs have had enough of the walking! I have some amazing friends!

So why are we doing it? Well, Tuesday was my 5 year diagnosis anniversary so for me I’m celebrating that! I’m proud of me & I’m loving life!
Challenging myself to do what my hobby was until I could no longer count on my legs.
Just before I was diagnosed me & my partner had bought ourselves hiking equipment. We loved finding new areas to go to & explore but unfortunately I started to experience pain & weakness in my legs so we had to stop.

I’ve been going to pilates classes 3 times a week & training privately as well. Concentrating on my core muscle to help with my balance and walking!

This girl most certainly can!

Still time to sponsor me & team #BAM4MSUK

I’m an endorphin addict!

image

What an amazing holiday but i must say I have missed pilates this week so much!
I actually had to apologise to DebbieRahRah for my foul mood yesterday afternoon!
I know for sure now that my gentle exercuse routine helps me with my Chronic pain. Because I haven’t done anything  since Tuesday I’m finding it hard to cope with the pain & that makes me moody!

Roll on Tuesdays pilates! Can’t wait to get back to it!

You’ll know when the time is right!

image

This is so true! I am now realising that for nearly 5 years I sat back quietly doing nothing whilst I literally grew into my ‘new’ MS skin! (I wasn’t literally quiet though! I have never have been shy of letting my feelings known!)

I took the step once I had got to know the new me!

It really was an amazing step to take for me to do what I had to do to become the better me!

Take your time though, you & only you will know when your ready! When you do know the time is right I promise you that you won’t be disappointed at all!

Fasten up though because it will be a bumpy ride!

Thanks for the compliment

Nice! Had an emotional pilates session, gawd knows why & one of the ladies says to me after…

“Your losing so much weight, what a lovely figure you have even though your big”

Cheers for that! I’m sure there’s a compliment there! Flipping burst into
tears as well whilst laughing! 🙊

Gahhhhh MS, you make my life such fun! 😝

Another kick ass Pilates routine

  
Can only mean one thing…

Another    
As always my Pilates instructor knows how to motivate! 

I’m gonna feel it in the morning! Seriously worth it! 👊💪

I cannot recommend this highly enough to everyone, especially people that have MS! 

Pilates is the perfect exercise for me as it challenges my mind as well as my body and I get to say to my MS ‘today I am in control of my body’
