Okay, so let's talk a bit about where I am. I thought about deleting this because I don't really use it anymore. I'm not actively trying to lose weight. I am pretty much living everyone's dream of losing weight without trying.
Good News
I am officially down 70lbs. I am at 157lbs. 17lbs away from my goal weight.
Bad News
That weightloss has come from me not eating due to not feeling hungry, forgetting to force myself to eat, or just the simple fact of eating using too much energy.
It's crazy because you never think of eating as using energy. (Most people don't think of it as gaining energy either.) When you have an autoimmune disease that causes extreme fatigue, you learn how much energy even the simplest of tasks take. Chewing is hard, especially meat. Trying foods you don't have to chew, just swallowing is tiring. My body digesting food is tiring.
My ms had a bit of a downfall. I had a relapse and started having trouble walking, to the point of being in a wheelchair. That was extremely hard for me and I said no. Me saying no will have me back on medication and in a lot of pain. I was unaware of the pain I'd be in.
I will start my new medication mid May. Starting it then because I have to wait 2 weeks after the covid vaccine. (This new medicine depletes your B cells and will make vaccines not work. ) I started physical therapy. I've been doing that for like a month. I have been doing my own workouts every day. While working at home, I bought a bike for under my desk that I do the whole day. I have resistance bands of every type that I use for different things. I started doing the eliptical a little bit. My legs are in such extreme pain. My heels, my ankles, my calfs, my thighs, my hips, they all hurt so bad. I have confidence that the pain will stop and I will be even stronger!
