I am so anticipating warmer weather, as many of you. But I took a good look at myself today. Sadness hit when I saw the rampage that I've created trying to feel good with meds but forgetting the importance of keeping physically active. How are you coping with the impending nice weather if your body has become unattractive since last summer? What will you wear to feel good about yourself? I apologize for being self centered and ridiculous about something so superficial. It really should come from the inside and not from the outside. Okay....so yesterday I began my journey back to practicing yoga. And you know what? I feel happier this morning just knowing I am doing something good for my body AND mind. Don't let your movement routines slip! It's as important as the neverending search for the right med combo. I offer you only health and blessings this holiday. And I'll be thinking of those suffering today.
Amy,
I completely understand what you are saying. I work out 2-3 times a week with a our local gym and lately I ahve been so exhausted that it's all I can do to get myself to work and back. I've been trying to force myself to go, because like you, I feel so much better when I am exercising, but man it's so difficult to get myself there.
I wish everyone luck in the exhausting job of balancing weight management and their meds for pain.
