Good bye wobble, hello balanced life
A brilliant article about MS & balance issues!
Makes me realise how well I am doing in pilates & know that what I’m doing in the gym is paying off!
I never thought I’d see the day that I’d loose my balance! After years of working with horses I had incredible balance! It wasn’t until I broke my leg that my balance started to shake & then my MS saw how funny it is to make me wobble when I walk so messed up my balance!
Well, tongue out to u MS cause yesterday I rocked pilates & the power plate!
Today I shall do it all over again just to prove that I am stronger than my MS, for right now anyway!

Cog Fog made worse by pain
Having this from my Fibro & my MS! Jeez, double whammy man!
Makes it worse when I’m in pain (which unfortunately is all the time) & when I’m tired!
Being in pain makes me tired, being tired means I can’t handle the pain as well!
That’s where I am today! 😐
Just keep smiling! We’ll get there eventually! 😄

Sponsor me & team #BAM4MSUK
Hello to my lovely followers of this little blog!
Next Saturday myself & 8 incredible friends will be getting ready to run, walk, push, hop, skip or jump The Color Run in Birmingham (UK)
This year I am fundraising for a wonder charity called MS-UK
As I’m sure your aware I have MS!
I was confirmed my diagnosis on the 11th August 2010 so to celebrate *yes celebrate* my 5 years I wanted to do something different whilst also raising money for a wonderful charity & raise awareness of this debilitating disease!
In 2011 myself & my partner organised a sponsored firewalk so this should be a walk in the park, quite literally for 5k with the added bonus of being covered in paint every 1 kilometre! Sounds very messy to me! If you know me properly you’ll know that I don’t like mess but I do like a challenge!
Do you think you could dig deep & help us reach our target of £250
Follow the link below or if u live in the UK just text BAMM55 £5 to 70070
Sponsor us
Thank you 😄
love you forever ❤

Passion

Ever so slightly addicted to Pilates
It’s true, it has to be said, my name is Vix Edwards & I’m a Pilates addict!
I say it out loud but this is nothing I want to fix!
It certainly is!
I look forward to every class, I’m happy to be there.
It challenges me, I challenge myself.
It annoys me, I get frustrated.
I quietly release my tension, I take a breath, I relax & then I’m calm!
This is how Pilates helps me!
When you have found your passion do not let it go! Stick at it, practice more often & reap the bennifits!
Kate, my Pilates instructor is on a well deserved holiday now for 2 weeks so today we had Hannah.
I get on with Hannah really well & love her energy. Her Pilates is different to Kates class but different is good!
My ‘hundred’ was much stronger today, the practicing at home is paying off!
Thank you for today’s class Hannah! I hope u have a wonderful break, you deserve it babe!

Goals are set
I Seriously am feeling so proud of myself!
At home I’ve been practicing different exercises that we do during Pilates, in particular the stretches shown above & today I nailed it!
I managed to hold the stretch on the right (‘Tree’) for nearly 45 seconds & I felt as though I was really strong! The stretch on the left I find difficult to stay strong because I have to switch my focus as I go from ‘tree’ to this one. I managed to hold it for 30 seconds today with a bit of a wobble! Okay, I doubt I looked as elegant as the pictures above but I look better than the very first time I was shown how to do them!
Not only that but I was doing these stretches on a ‘power plate’ this morning and for me, that is impressive!
I guess to some it doesn’t seem much doing these stretches but, for me & many MS’rs (people with multiple sclerosis) balance is a major issue. When I started attending the Pilates classes in February I had hardly any balance & very little co-ordination, this is one of my main reasons I started going to Pilates. Since then my core muscles needed for balance have been getting stronger.
I’m loving seeing the changes in me physically & mentally!
My Pilates instructor is away now for 2 weeks, when she comes back I’d love for her to see an improvement in my stamina!
Practice, practice, practice until perfect! This is my promise I make to myself!
