Go Orange
Hey beauties!!
March is Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness month!!!
As you may know, yours truly was diagnosed April 13,2010. I can't believe it will be 2 years but with a great support system and faith on your side time flies by.
Today I did acupuncture. It was very interesting and informative. I'm incorporating it into my life. While being there a nutritionist spoke to me about my diet. Which exercising has been a bit of a hassle these past few months so I was prepared to hear all that he had to say. He mentioned the infammation in foods which for MS patients can trigger symptoms. So of course having a gluten free diet(breads, pastas), no dairy, no tomatoes, no peppers no eggplant. Becareful of strawberries, grapes, no cheese!!!!! I'm like wow wth can I eat? The plan is to go on this diet for two weeks then a month and slowly introduce certain foods to my body and see how it goes. That way we know for sure what are trigger foods.
I will be praying for strength but I have faith in myself and I believe I can do it! Wish me luck!!

Finally back in the gym
So, yesterday I went to the gym and took a lower body/ab class...OMGoodness!! I should have really taken baby steps with getting back in the habit but I dove straight in. My thighs are still burning but I will keep going as much as I can. I will only do the hard core cardio classes on days that I dont take my medication. on the days of taking my meds I will do yoga or have it as a rest day :)
Hows everyone else doing?

2012!!!
Hey beauties!!
How has everyone's new year been so far? It started off sad because there was a death in my fiance's family which is obviously family to me. It is sad however God is so amazing. All the family that came out for the homegoing service was truly moving. I'm very happy to be apart of his family. There is a tight bond and the role of family is so important to me.
I'm praying for improvement and change health wise. Before the holidays I had a really bad flare up with my condition as I wrote about before. It lasted almost 3 weeks and because of that I will be starting a new medication soon. Its a decision I had to make because I have to always consider my future. I unfortunately cant do things spontaneously like I used to, everything I have to give "real" thought to. The medication that I currently take is Avonex which is a once a week shot (the needle has to go into the muscle), the new medication Rebif is a 3 times a week shot that goes into the top layer of skin. Rebif is considered an intermediate disease modifying drug. Hopefully, this will work out for me. I will post about my progress.
but in other news...This is the YEAR!!!!!
