Commitment

I am usually a woman of my word except for when it comes to myself. I will do whatever I can for others but when I need to do something for me I seem to just go with, 'whatever'!

Today that is coming to an end. It is time I made a commitment to myself - but it still includes the other people in my life.

Today I start getting healthy and sticking to a workout program. I want to be there for my family, my friends and for Ryan and what our future holds. If I am over weight or unhealthy I won't be able to be there for anyone. I can tell that in the past few weeks I have slacked on taking care of me. I already feel the effects. My back is sore, I am tired all the time & my acid problems are still bad even with daily medicine.

No more of this. Today I start a workout - ChaLEAN Extreme/Turbo Fire Hybrid. I am even kind of excited about it. I am tired of feeling sore and achy. This is 3 months and it just so happens that my birthday is in 3 months.

I am making this commitment for me and the ones I love! I will need help and support but I know I have that. No one likes the cry baby Patti who hides out at home.

Lets get to this!!

Here's to everything!

5 days later

Here I am 5 days later.  The pain is not as bad as it was in the begining but there is still quite the discomfort and tightness and pain.  Have you ever looked up 'muscle spasm'?  A sudden, involuntary muscle contraction. Acute pain, marked by limited range of motion, fasciculation, and increased EMG activity even resting may be present. There is acute onset of pain at rest as well as with function. I fell like a spasm should be lots of contractions but it isn't.  It is like putting the muscles on lock down. Having this pain is really messing with my head.  It is putting me into a depression.  I don't want to do things.  I don't want to talk.  I want to eat and just lay on the couch.  This is what I am trying to get away from!!
