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!
