I did get up and walk some in the house today even out on the covered deck for a few minutes. I am going crazy with these spasms. Still can't lay down because after 15-20 minutes I have screaming spasms that last for about 30-45 minutes. I am very tired of sitting up all the time. But this will hopefully resolve soon. Waiting to see the Dr. Friday to get results from yesterdays MRI. Sometimes life is rough.
Be patient. It took time for you to get where you are. It will take time to see results from the changes you are making. 
Just keep fighting. You can do this.
Just keep fighting. You can do this.

I can tell this is going to be a slow recovery. My back and legs feel like I got ran over by a truck. So I will go slow and easy. I will get up and walk even if it is only 50-100feet at a time. As long as I don't quit I will make it.

Cold here this morning. -1 degrees. That is really cold for this part of Texas. Will try to get some chair exercises in today. It is really hard when any movement sets the pain in my hips and lower back. We have to push ourselves.

Every feel this way? I do, eating too much since my sister is staying with me. Hard to say no when I am doing the cooking. She eats mostly carbs and starches. Her protein comes from beans and protein shakes. Any way This is how I feel. Trying to eat better, means preparing different meals.

Sometimes it is rough but we can get through the rough times. I am going back in therapy because my shoulder is getting more painful and my range of motion is really very limited.
This is an old injury, I had a rotator cuff repair surgery almost 8 years ago. Sometimes it is so painful it makes me cry. Can't lift my arm to shoulder height. Hoping therapy will bring some of the function back.![See this image larger]()

Nice sunny day chill tho so bundle up and gofora walk or run. Have a great weekend.
Last 4-5 days my joints have been complaining. We have an agreement you work you get massage and warmth you don't then you get pain.

It seems like I fell months ago and am still struggling to get back up and back on track. Just seem to have lost my way. I know what to do but having trouble getting it done. Need a little push or encouragement or maybe a trip out behind the barn! I am here and not giving up......I think.

Banging my head against the wall. I have gained almost 30 lbs. in 8 months! I can give lots of excuses but it really come down to making very unhealthy food choices. I feel the weight. It makes me sad and ashamed. I promote healthy living and definitely am not living that way. I wanted to publically acknowledge this so I can get back on track. This is a me thing. I have to do it. Thank you all for your support and friendship. It means so much to me.

Had good day. My knee grinds and locks up but I know if I get up and walk in place my knee unlocks then I can go for my walk. Stretches help with flexibility .
I'm on my own. Had last therapy session. Now it is really up to me to keep working that shoulder. Still is very sore and stiff but better than it was.

Yep.....tomorrow is Friday. Hope you have had a great week.

Today is Loyalty in the United States. This Day was first Celebrated in the 1920's as a show of loyalty to the beliefs and heritage of the United States. It was first designated by Congress on July 18,1958 as Loyalty Day. It used to be recognized with speeches and parades in towns and cities across America. I still pledge my Loyalty to the United States. 
Never sleep in, but no alarm is needed to get up when the day is yours.
Hoping everyone has a great Friday. Cloudy here waiting for the rain.

Pretty happy with my steps this week. I am 70+ on a walker/cane with bad back and arthritis. I do it one step at a time. Hard! Hard. But can be done. Now I need to work on my eating. Definitely need work. I just love carbs, and love to eat....all the time. Need super glue or muzzle.

Miss my momma.
Love and honor your mom every day. Too soon she will be gone.
Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers here. My mom has been gone since 1998. But I think of her everyday. I miss her sweet smile and gentle manner. My sister and I looked at old pictures. Very nostalgic. Really brought back some wonderful memories. My sister is on a walker just as I am most of the time. I am working with her so she can be more independent. Her endurance is less than mine but she really is much stronger than I am.
is 
Tired but so blessed to be here.
Hope all have a great Tuesday, work hard to achieve your goals.
This is something that is hard for some of us to realize we have to make the changes in what we eat to lose weight. We tone up in the gym.

Had a relaxing day. Ate too much but really under my food limit. Steps made. Outside today for awhile but mostly indoors. Breathing continues to be a real activation. Short of breath and wheezing. I am sure some of it is allergies.

Hot today, most of my walk was short periods of stationary walking in the kitchen and living room. It was a stand up....sit down kind of day. It is slow, one step at a time. My sister walks around the house with her Walker. She is slowly getting her strength back. Me, my endurance will probably be slow and short. My lungs and heart make rest and my back and legs tell me to stop. But I am pushy. I don't want to give in. 
Have a great day Sparkers
We can all do some fitness. Some a little others a lot. The important thing is to do what you can.
Do some strength training for a healthy heart.

Sun is finally shining again. Stormed a lot yesterday. Some places are flooded, but good here at my place. I have a few small limbs down. Needed to be trimmed anyway. My steps were short but that is OK. Still made over 8,000. Hope you have a great Thursday. My brother is have his heart cath and stint placement today. He is nervous and worried about it. He already has 2 stints. Hopefully all will go good.

Hi fellow sparkers, hope everyone had a great Saturday. Did you get and enjoy nature? It was pretty hot here today. 94 with heat index of 103. I was out early but only for a short time. It was hot all day. Walked around my back yard, really mostly on my deck. Did enjoy the blue sky's and clouds. No rain. Did you find time for fitness. I did but it was short spurts. No long workouts today.

Tired tonight. Had Dr. appointment today for pulmonary function test. Technician couldn't tell me results. Showed me the printout though. It did show moderate to severe resistance disease. Will get official results from my Dr. On Monday. I am curious if there will be changes in my treatments. Time will tell. I walk a little and rear a little. But I do all I can.

Moving abit more today. Waiting for the rain. Hot and humid tonight. Praying for all of you in the way of the hurricane and flooding. Looks like the flooding is all up the eastern seacoast and along gulf States. Be safe.
Feeling better, day #3 back on track.
Not bad. 
Hope all have a good day. Off to a Dr. appointment this morning. 
To my friends out there having a rough time. You are beautiful, you definitely deserve a happy full life and you can do it. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't.
Dr. report was good. Best part was a 7.5 weight loss. All due to refocusing and cutting the carbs.
I am grateful for this day.
Went to local VFW meeting tonight. Was good to visit with our veterans.
Rough day but got steps in. Nutrition wise macro's all in range. Breathing has been rough. Hope all did well with working toward your goals.
Have a great Friday.
I appreciate each of you for all your friendship and encouragement.
Met my step goals. It is a stand-up, walk, sit-down rest and repeat. I do this all day long. My real goal is to walk at least 1 mile without resting. I am working hard to reach that goal
Don't slip up just because it is the week-end.
Got mine done.

I think all of America...and probably the world could learn from this. 
Walking we can all do this. Even if it is sitting in a chair or standing and walking in place using a walker for balance or outside walking in nature.

I am grateful. I walk because it is about all I can do. In 2018, the therapists did not think I would ever be able to walk unassisted. I can now walk with my walker and cane. Also unassisted for short distances. Please do not say walking is not that important just because you can run. When you cannot stand, or walk it is a blessing to be able to walk.
Keep moving or you may not be able too.

Did you have a great day? Everything go just the way you planned? Well I had some up and downs but as the day draws to a close I would say overall it was a great day. Had a continuing problem with my neck and shoulder. So far heat and anti- inflammatory med has managed the pain. I have been able to do things I wanted to and got my stretches and steps in. Today eating was in better control. So a good day. Looking forward to a great week.
I can tell I have been eating better. Not ready to get on the scale.

Tuesday is done. Got some things taken care of for my sister. Hope it goes as planned. Able to get my steps in. 
For a chuckle.
Tired, calling it a night. See all you sparkers in the morning.

Started a fitbit virtual adventure today. Walking the trails of the Grand Canyon. Got my steps in and enjoyed the scenery. Haven't been to the Grand Canyon in over 45 years. Still as beautiful as ever.
Another day in the books. Enjoying my walk through the Grand Canyon. Simple challenge but just right for me.

Went over my steps goal today. Endurance is a little better but still get really short of breath.

Went over my steps today. Still get very short of breath and have to stop often and rest. 
Last day of the month. Made daily 10,000 step goal all but 5 days. Pretty happy with that.

Good start for October. Hoping to do better than last month. Let's all have a awesome positive month.
Long day. Just very tired. Going to Dr. tomorrow. I am not happy with my weight. Will see how tomorrow goes.
Well, I had about 2 hrs. sleep last night and a doctor's appointment this morning. Was so tired but got it done. Ready for lunch, was fasting for labs. Will get results by Monday. I was surprised I dad lost 8 lbs. since last visit. 
Steps done. Took a nap this evening. Was really tired. Feel better. Probably will be up most of night now.

Back is still very painful and raw. Had to rest it alot today. Lots of heat therapy and easy stretches. But I was able to get steps done, barely.
Trying to get this done. Staying focused most of the time. Still having back issues. Old abused back, I pushed it too hard. Now I pay the price. It will get better just slow and I don't like it.
Have a great day. You got this!

Breathing was terrible yesterday. Struggled for air all day. Today was better. Was able to get steps done today. Yesterday I had about 6500 steps. Weather changing, much cooler. As long as not too humid or muggy I breath better.

Breathing has been better today, hope my energy picks up. I did get steps done but other than stretches that was it. Did talk with my brother today. He is feeling stressed by family, (his children are always needy and he never can say no). All I can do is listen and give him support. Hoping tomorrow will be a better day.

Steps done. Tired today. Made it to Walmart and got a new battery. Then got my sister's and my laundry done. Also played with fur babies. Steps done. Waiting for thunderstorms to come in have possibilities for hail and tornadoes. I figure we get the heavy rain. Power may go but that is Texas. 
Who agrees.
Hope everyone met their goals today. If you did awesome. If you did not don' beat yourself up about it. Tomorrow is a new day. Miss my goals often. Trying to control carbs is my demon. I went over a little tonight. But tomorrow I will try again.
Rained most of days. Mostly stayed in today. Read and relaxed.
