It's time to get going...

I use to wonder how people filled their days.  I mean it's 8 hours Jeffrey is at work, how could I possibly find enough to do?  I have a lot of time now days since I am unable to work and I have figured out that answer...you web surf!  Oh yeah, I mean hours and hours.  You set down in front of the computer and before you know it the clock has struck noon.  Where did all the time go?  

I have been searching about weakness and UC.  It seems to be the norm. I have also looked at my bloodwork recently and I am vitamin D deficient along with many other vitamins.  My inflamed tummy doesn't allow all the nutrients to enter my system so I totally understand the need to supplement.  I also understand the concept that the more you sit the more your body weakens.  That brings me to "It's time to get going!"  Seriously though, I am tired.  I mean T.I.R.E.D!  I don't feel like getting up and walking.

How do I combat this tiredness?  I just do it!  I get up and put on those walking shoes.  I get on the treadmill and push the button.  I finally did this yesterday and can I share all the thoughts running through my head?  Great!  
  • Am I going to have to go to the bathroom?
  • Will I make it?
  • Why are my legs like rubber?
  • Oh my goodness, I feel like I am going to fall.
  • Has it always been this hard to walk?
  • Really?  I'm only going 2.5
  • Should I push past only one lap?
  • What it I push too hard?
  • What if I don't push enough?
  • Do you think this will really help?
  • How long will it take me to get back to normal?
  • Why am I even worried about this?
  • Just enjoy the walk.
  • At least you are moving.
  • Don't you feel better?

All of this in like 6 minutes.  I only went one lap.  Yes, only a .25 mile.  Really?  Yes, really and it is ok.  I know I use to walk close to 14 miles a day but I am so happy with my quarter mile.  We all have to start somewhere.  This quarter mile gives me hope that next week I may work myself up to half a mile.  One day I will make it back to me.  That is the only thing that keeps me moving...one day I will make it back to me!

To be embarrassed or not...

A month or so ago I went to church.  My sister and her family decided to go to an early service so I hopped on board and was like, "Hey...
