I don’t post much about my fibromyalgia because it just doesn’t hold me down much anymore. 🙂 Let me tell you about yesterday.
I had my usual day of some sewing mixed in with the rest of the day. Up & down the basement steps a few times. Made dinner. Did some laundry. Stuff.
I left at 2:45 p.m. for the rest of the day. First took Phil to pick up his tractor. (you know just driving 4 yrs ago was a problem for me!) Then on to Menard’s (priced front & back doors) and Joann’s (they had 2 of the 3 things I needed).
Got to the fitness center and did 1/2 hr of weights, getting stronger and upping the weights on a regular basis. Then 50 mins of aqua aerobics in the pool. I started a bit early and there are those of us (veterans) that push the envelope a bit more and do more aerobics than this new teacher.
After that it was time for groceries. But because I’m feeling better, I had lists for 3 stores. The majority came from Cubs, then milk from Aldi’s (it is 1/2 the price of the other store!), and then Save A Lot to finish since they are the only store with sugar-free boneless skinless chicken.
I got home at 7 p.m. and JP helped me unload the truck and I put the groceries away. Thankfully JP had grilled the brats so I could then eat. 🙂
This is my new life! I’m nearing 4 yrs of reversing my fibromyalgia with guaifenesin. Take that you nay-sayers! 🙂
Wednesday… just finished my 3rd time of doing Jillian Michaels’ 30 day Shred workout. Good workout. I think it might be helping!! 🙂
That would be a tiring day for anyone! Good job and PTL!
Yea for you girl! You go! Now I have to go sit down. You wore me out…
I’m tired reading that! So happy for you Joyce!
Now, educate me… sugar free chicken breast?????
Kristal,
Most chicken is soaked in a sugar-solution and I can’t have any sugars. I was getting the bags at the usual place, Cubs in this story, but then they were so tough & chewy no matter how I cooked them. :p So I checked Aldi’s (not ok) and then found them to be OK from Save A Lot.
It is odd but it is really hard to find meat w/o sugar. Except the fresh cut pieces in the meat case, KWIM? Frustrating and makes sense why so many are over weight, let alone the blood sugar issues in America.
I had NO IDEA about sugar in meat. Amazing! And I can’t imagine you being disabled by fibro. Obviously that was before we “met” each other, but I am so happy that you’re able to do all the things you love to do now. You are such a blessing to so many people!
Yes, Monica — before we met. In 2005, I went on vacation with a borrowed wheelchair since I couldn’t even walk from the car to the event. I used one when out shopping. Kinda sad when my dc would “argue” over who got to push Mommy in Target.
I could barely walk to get a seat at church. Didn’t stand until time to struggle to get out again at the end. Yucky! 😦
