I made partial goals again. I didn't go to Silver sneakers at all because weather was sort of cold and I didn't want to get out.

Hello Mamabug!

Understandable - I have a difficult time going out in the cold.

Good job with partial goals!

[KoKo]

Hey everyone!

I'm glad to report that I achieved my exercise goals.

I had a much better week than the previous one, which was most welcome!

My physical activities went smoother, with a little less struggle.

I stayed in the moments, savoring each while feeling very thankful.

Wishing everyone a great week!


My plan is to continue on with the current exercise goals.

Daily: Up on feet and light activity (walk/stand) 5X per day @ 20 - 30 min each + Stretches throughout the day + Breathing exercises

4X Per Week: In-chair ab crunches (10 each X2) + Arm, Leg, Core, and Back Exercises (with varied # of reps)

May we be calm, patient, strong, and of good courage.

Good to hear KoKo!

I have had 2 good weeks, nothing outstanding but consistent other than a minor hiccup here and there. We all experience that twilight zone between overdoing it and doing just enough. That kept me cautious and I didn't overdue things.

Overall my MS continues doing what it does. It appears concerned with spasticity so I counter with stretching.

My poor side gets poorer. Confidence in getting up or down studio floor requires a chair or bar often. Still use scooter only once a week KoKo (fits into your 'savoring' category)! Still getting around.

Side s: A get together fell through last week which I'm hoping isn't Covid related. Did hear from another old friend who sounded much better than last we spoke. Up lifting!

Oh, our ground hog needs an attitude adjustment. Let me guess... yours too?

Hey there Jer!

I have had 2 good weeks, nothing outstanding but consistent other than a minor hiccup here and there. We all experience that twilight zone between overdoing it and doing just enough. That kept me cautious and I didn't overdue things.

Glad to know that you've had 2 good, consistent weeks! Priceless!

Overall my MS continues doing what it does. It appears concerned with spasticity so I counter with stretching.

Good strategy, Jer.

On the subject of spasticity, I stopped taking the Tizanidine again, awhile back. More often than not, I felt weaker, and sluggish while taking it.

My poor side gets poorer. Confidence in getting up or down studio floor requires a chair or bar often. Still use scooter only once a week KoKo (fits into your 'savoring' category)! Still getting around.

I understand, Jer.

My 'better' left side has been gradually getting 'poorer' (to use your description). The entire side, unfortunately.

I will continue to do what I can. Gotta keep my focus on the abilities that are still serving me well.

Also, a careful watch on my attitude and emotions, keeping them in constant check. It really helps when my whole being (mind, body, and spirit) are free from negativity.

Hope your friend is ok. And glad to hear that your other friend is sounding much better!

Well, we seem to have alternating weeks with very cold, then 40's and 50's, then back to very cold, etc.!

So it's quite tolerable. (Hope I haven't put the jinx on, now.)
