#FitReaders Check-In

Published on by Rachelle
  • This check-in is for December 23rd – 30th.
  • I’ve got less than 2 miles to reach my 800-mile goal for the year!  I will be walking those miles today 🙂
  • This is my last check-in of 2022.  Even though I usually only report on Friday through Thursday of the previous week, I’ve included yesterday’s numbers as well.
  • My big goal for 2023 will be to walk 900 miles.  I haven’t decided on a big reward yet, but my weekly goal of 17.26 miles will earn me $5 towards something on my wishlist, and my monthly goal of 75 miles will earn me a trip to the bookstore.

  • The crazy Winter storm might be keeping me indoors, but I will walk laps in the house if I have to.  I don’t want to have gotten so close and then miss my goal by a few miles!

  • This check-in is for December 2nd – 8th.
  • I’ve got less than 60 miles to walk to reach my 800-mile goal for the year!
  • I had my final physical therapy appointment this week and met all the goals we agreed on during my initial appointment.  I’ll never be pain-free, but my average day-to-day pain is low enough now that I can mostly ignore it, and I have a TENS unit for when I can’t.

  • This check-in is for November 11th – 17th.
  • I’m posting this later in the day than I normally like, but the Boyfriend and I went shopping for everything we need to make Thanksgiving dinner, and that took quite a bit of time.
  • I am so excited to be less than 10 miles away from hitting 700 miles!  I’ve been trying to hit that miler marker for the Charity Challenge for years, and I just barely missed it last year, but this year I’ve got over a month left to go.  I know I won’t reach 1K miles, but I think I might still be able to get to 800.  I’ve adjusted my goal accordingly.

  • This check-in is for October 28th – November 3rd.
  • During my most recent physical therapy appointment, I tried out a TENS unit to see if it would help, and it was amazing!  I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t in any pain, and so this is a game changer.  I’m continuing with my physical therapy, of course, but I now have a lot more hope that I can start doing a lot of the things I haven’t been able to do for a long time.

  • This check-in is for October 21st – 27th.
  • I’ve been tired a lot lately.  I assumed it was because I’ve been in a lot of pain, and there’s been a lot going on over the past couple of months, and the weather has not been helpful either.  It turns out that, while all of that is definitely true, I’m also low on vitamin D again (I had to be on a supplement a few years ago).  I’m now back on the supplement, and I’m hoping that my energy will improve soon.

  • This check-in is for October 14th – 20th.
  • I’m posting this later than usual due to the #Readathon over the weekend, which was a lot of fun!
  • I start physical therapy today, after having an initial appointment to do an assessment and then discuss goals.  I’ll be doing 8 weeks of physical therapy, and then the spine specialist and I will reassess what we’re going to do from there.  The good news is that she says I don’t need surgery.  The bad news is that I am likely to never be 100% pain-free.  Instead, our focus will be getting me to the point where I can do more with less pain.
