#FitReaders Check-In

Published on by Rachelle
  • 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.

  • I’m back to work full-time and getting back into my normal routine, so while I didn’t hit my mileage goal for the week, I did get over 150 active minutes, and I’m feeling pretty good.
