20 thousand followers on Twitter! Wow!

Shut the front door! 20 thousand followers on Twitter! That’s incredible! Let’s not stop there though! Come follow me and thousands of inspirational tweeps! 

Passion, compassion, humour & style

Had a lovely morning today with a spot of hot sweaty Pilates! Might seem odd to some but that statement makes me feel so proud, being able to push myself to exercise in the heat & humidity without any air conditioning!

For anyone that isn’t familiar with heat/humidity & the effects on MSrs: It can & does (for me) bring on all of my MS symptoms I have experienced to date, normally tenfold! 

I’ve finally found a way to manage this & continue to exercise.

Liquid chalk!

Liquid chalk! Perfect! 3rd time I have tried it since it arrived yesterday afternoon & it has worked all 3 times! Still feel safer when I use my Yoga teachers super sticky latex mat but this way is cheaper than buying one of those & mine was a birthday gift!

Just let go and enjoy yourself!

Loving the changes in me that I’m seeing and feeling! A more relaxed, happier me! When being sporadic isn’t something to be scared of! When just saying yes can mean you have an incredible night! Don’t be frightened of events that you create in your own mind! Just let go and enjoy yourself!

Breathe Vix, just breathe! You got this girl! I’ve just cancelled all my exercise classes at Everyone Active leisure centre for the rest of the week!

Seems standing for more than a few minutes is out of the question for a bit! 

I’ve got this & I know just what to do!…

See if this liquid chalk will stop me face planting my mat when doing ‘Downward Dog’ 😳😅👍

Where I am, right now, is where I’m meant to be! 

I truly believe that I am in the right place, the path my fitness journey is taking me down has crossed paths with a spiritual side of me that has been suppressed for a long time! I have waited to be here for too long, well now the wait is over! 

Let the learning and practising begin!

True Yoga

Im feeling especially proud of myself tonight for doing the best yoga yet and on a day when I have had the worst pain!
I had to change the time of my normal private 1-1 yoga lesson from midday to early evening, this being a particularly difficult time of the day for me because of my MS! 
I totally smashed it though! 

I’d like to say that it’s like there are no boundaries, but they are still there, my balance still tests me. Good job I manage to take control of my body before it hits the floor! 

I know I’m getting better and stronger! I just need to ‘Let go’ completely, have faith and trust myself! 

I love this journey!

Your just perfect!

I’m in the right place right now, moving in the right direction. Doing exactly what I’m meant to be doing!I’ve never felt more in tune! 
Happy Thursday everyone! Well done for making it this far through the week, not much further to go! Just breathe!

Don’t fall at the first hurdle

•How I CAN’T be awesome today: no Pilates, pain to bad for group class! I may “ouch” & “(enter swear word hear)” too much & too loudly! I’m sure tears will flow too so….
•How I CAN be awesome today: Get down on my yoga mat & practise, practise, practise! At least doing this at home I can have a word with my body, my MS & my pain! Best of all, I’m going outside to do it in the sunshine! Beaut!
I just want to add how proud I feel for turning ‘not able to attend pilates’ into a positive!

That’s one of the hardest things to do! It’s so easy to ‘fall at the first hurdle’ (so to speak!)

The aim is to stay as positive as I can throughout the day to help keep the epic ‘MS Low Moods’ at bay!

We got this guys! 👊💥
