Practicing Pilates at home can have its downsides #pilates #pilates4ms #pilateslovers #ms #spms #multiplesclerosis #thisgirlcan #ishapeme

Today I did my best ever Pilates ‘100’ (top pic) every time I seem to be getting better especially when I do it ‘Hannah style’ (one of my Pilates instructors)
Beating away trying my best to keep count on my last set & our dog decided she wanted a drink, anyone that knows Ollie will also know that she has got to be the messiest dog when it comes to drinking!
I knew it was going to happen, I don’t know why I didn’t move sooner! There I am lying on the kitchen floor, Ollie has a drink of water, walks over to me a drips it all on my face! 😨

Next was ‘The Plank’ (bottom picture) nothing quite as disgusting as above but really annoying for me!
My most impressive FULL Plank ever, yes… FULL PLANK and neither Deb nor me counted how long I held it for!
I’m not talking a record time or anything like that but surely something in the region of a minute which let me tell u,  seriously impressive for me!
NEXT TIME I SET MY WATCH!

I’m sure this is referring to pain for gain because the pain I feel right now is not making me smile!

Check list…

•Heavy lifeless legs ✔
•Extreme relentless pain for no good reason ✔
•deep burning like my thighs are in a furness ✔

Yep, must be MS! 😩
Bring on tomorrow’s Pilates! Pain for a reason! 👌👍👏

I LOVE THAT CLASS SO MUCH BUT MY MS FREAKING HATES IT!

WOW! I LOVE THAT CLASS SO MUCH BUT MY MS FREAKING HATES IT!
Look at my face MS, do I look as if I care!

Fight Klub is intense & I love it!

So I can hardly breathe after & it takes me over 30 minutes to cool down to a safe temperature when we finish, do I care? Errr, No!

Three little words for you…

Girl
Can!

#blog — It’s a better day! — #MS #positivevibes #strongerthanMS

It’s a better day!
Thumbs up from eye hospital & discharged! Booyahhh!
Just gotta have my normal vision check next week at normal opticians, possible new prescription for right eye which is the one that I’ve had Optic Neuritis (inflammation to the optic nerve) 3x according to their computers.
Ophthalmologist told me again my vision will never get better in my Right eye, I will always have a loss of contrast in it and would I like some IV (intravenous) steroids? Yes u read that right!!!
NO THANKYOU!
Oh and to the lady that jumped the car park pay machine que, was it really worth it? I mean, how much quicker did it get you? Well it didn’t did it, the rotating door made sure of that for you when u tried to exit the building! Whoops!

Happy Friday!

You are amazing, remember that!

That’s a first!

Walk into shop to have a browse at some clothes. I don’t normally look at clothes on my own, I’m normally in my wheelchair because clothes shopping in particular can be very draining!
Came over with a feeling of major depression when i saw how tiny the clothes that I used to wear are!
Turned around and walked out!
Need some new make-up so went into Boots, walked towards make-up isles decided actually, I didn’t have the energy so turned around and walked out!

Major bummer!

Hope everyone else is having a better day than me!
Just one appointment this afternoon and then I’m going home to cuddle our furbabies!

Just goes to prove that we can’t always have all good days straight each other and also for me to remember that just coming out to the retail park is far better than what I would have done 2 years ago!

Be inspired but not proud — #pilates #pilates4ms #pilateslovers #thisgirlcan #ishapeme #pain #chronicpain #ms #multiplesclerosis #inspiration #proud

Wow! I totally smashed Pilates then! Pain was unbelievable but I pushed through it and achieved so much!
I know it says be inspired which I am but not proud but I really am!

Why does it say ‘not proud’?
