Yesterday I ended up having a ‘not going anywhere day’. But that changed today! I got to the gym and went upstairs, yes, I finally went upstairs!!! I managed to walk five minutes on the treadmill. I asked my favorite running coach how do I get back to running, and she responded by telling me to start walking on soft ground, like a treadmill. I was excited to do my five minutes of walking without to much pain, I did have some discomfort. Then I was off to the weights, knowing I am on the very first step of recovery I cut all my normal weights in half; yes, most of them seemed VERY light, but I didn’t care. I would love to say I am finally back at the point where I can go visit my chiropractor, but sadly, I am not quite there yet. I am starting to look at races that I would like to participate in next year and figuring out how I MIGHT be able to be ready for them. I understand I have a long road of recovery and because of the Lupus, RA and Fibro it will be a very uncharted road.
On a food note, I recently I picked up some really yummy looking cook books/magazines. Tonight was Veggie Pot Pie. Due to my dietary issues it is great being able to make food that I know I probably won’t have any issues with. Not to mention if there is something I can’t stand to eat (like cooked celery, YUCK!), I can just leave it out!
