#FitReaders Check-In

Published on by Rachelle
  • This check-in is for April 15th – 21st.
  • It’s supposed to be 80+ degrees all weekend, and it’s sunny out today (for the time being).  The weather has been a lot better this whole week, with the exception of some rain, and that means I’m not in as much pain as I’ve been in for what feels like forever.  The only downside is all of the yard work I’ve got to try to get done before it rains again.

  • This check-in is for April 8th – 14th.
  • Last week I said I was tired of it being cold and rainy all the time.  Well, it’s still raining, but it warmed up a bit, so I guess that’s an improvement.  I’m meeting up with one of my cousins today and I really hope the rain doesn’t ruin our plans.
  • I had to take a couple of days off of work this week thanks to pain all down my leg making it difficult to walk.  The good news is that I finally have an appointment for an MRI.  I’m one step closer to hopefully getting some real help.

  • This check-in is for April 1st – 7th.
  • I know it’s Spring, but I’m getting so tired of it being cold and rainy all the time.  I want sunshine.  I want the temperature to get up to 70 degrees.  I want to be able to enjoy my backyard.

  • This check-in is for March 25th – 31st.
  • My doctor is going to have me get an MRI and then possibly refer me to a spine specialist.  All I’m waiting on is for the imaging department to call me to schedule the MRI, and I hate that I can’t just call them and make the appointment myself.

  • This check-in is for March 18th – 24th.
  • I don’t know if it was the weather or the physical therapy exercises I had been doing, but I ended up in so much pain Monday night and on into Tuesday that I was having trouble walking and couldn’t go to work.  I managed to go to work for the rest of the week, but I’m not taking any more chances with that physical therapy program until after I talk to my doctor on Monday.

  • This check-in is for March 11th – 17th.
  • I received some bad news about my back, but I’m taking it as an opportunity to explore adaptive sports, such as archery and recumbent cycling.  I may not ever be able to run or go hiking again, but I’m not giving up on finding a physical activity besides walking that I enjoy.

  • This check-in is for March 4th – 10th.
  • I had a doctor’s appointment on Monday that put me in a lot of pain, and it shows in my activity level for this week.  I don’t think it would have been as bad had I not needed to get X-rays of my back and hip.  Trying to get into the positions they needed on a cold, hard, unforgiving table and then hold those positions was brutal.

  • This check-in is for February 25th – March 3rd.
  • I’m getting back into the swing of things, but I’m finding that my weekdays are so busy I don’t have the time to write blog posts.  While I’m going to keep these weekly check-ins for Friday through Thursday, I’ll probably post them on Saturdays more often than Fridays.

  • This check-in is for February 11th – 17th.
  • I’m not sure how I have 5 active days, but fell short of my active minutes goal.  At least I smashed my mileage goal!
  • Hitting my mileage goal means another $5 towards something from my wishlist.  I’ve had the Deluxe Edition “The Lord of the Rings” 1978 animated movie on there for quite awhile, and it was $9.99 so that was my choice.  It will take me 3 weeks of meeting my goal to get the next least expensive item on my wishlist, the Season 2 “Outlander” soundtrack.
