Hello! I’m alive! Sorry it’s been forever.

Hello new faces, I see you guys! And hello old faces, I’ve missed you!

Weight loss has unfortunately not been a priority in my life lately, however getting strong is! 💪

I’m still in physical therapy. I was officially diagnosed with Paget’s disease of the bone. It effects my hips, lower back, and legs. Especially on the left side. I’ve started pain management and I’m working on my strength and my stamina and trying not to look in the mirror during this process because… I’ve gained a bit, I won’t lie to y’all. But, it’s been HARD! I went from walking 16k steps a day to barely breaking 300 back in October 2022. My average as of May 2023 is about 6-7k steps so obviously I am improving but, it’s so much slower than I would like it to be. I’m also working full time so a lot of my time is taken up there but I promise I haven’t forgotten about this blog or all of you.

I’m sorry for the messages I haven’t responded to, I appreciate all of your kind words and all of you. 💗🫶🏻

If you find this post from my Paget’s disease tag, please feel free to reach out. I would love to connect with people who have what I have. Every doctor I ask, “How many people have you treated with this disease?” They always say, “You’re my first!” So any and all experience I can gather from others I am thankful for!

Thought this was on 🎯 w my life now.

🔆You must read, you MUST presevere, you must sit up nights, you must inquire,

and exert the utmost power of your mind.

If one way does not lead to the desired meaning,

take another;

if obstacles arise,

then still another;

until,

...if your strength holds out, you will find that clear which at first looked dark.🔆

My dinner this evening:

Kidney beans, corn, rucola, cucumber, tomato (red, orange and yellow), sweet pepper (red and orange), tuna, green olives with garlic and some olive oil and balsamico.

Tastes very good and is a healthy meal! Made a bunch so I’ll have something tomorrow as well.

Yoga

I decided to try my hand at yoga today. I watched a begginer's yoga video from YouTube and I think it went well. I definitely need to work on my strength but I'm hoping this will kind of help start relaxing me more and rebuilding my flexibility. @gerinurse
