Measly muscles!


This week I joined the gym and today I had my induction! As some of you may know, I have arthritis but it is much better now with the help of an autoimmune drug! When it first flared up in Feb 2009 I was practically bedridden (on the sofa!) and my body has never recovered fully from the effects of the muscle loss I incurred!

So today is the first day of me working to get my body back into shape and much needed strength back. Whenever I do something physical like walking I get really tired but this I think is due to my body having to work so hard, it needs to be strong in the first place to endure simple tasks like walking.

It will probably be tough to begin with and I will no doubt be quite tired until I can build up some stamina but it will be so worth it in the end!! My worst fear is that the pain will get too much and I will have to stop so fingers crossed that doesn't happen!! The best result will be having a body fitter than it ever was and with some lovely tone and definition, oh, and my bum being firmly back where it should be!

This blog post has been inspired by Stacy who is embarking on a fitness journey of her own and I truly hope she succeeds!

  3. We can both do it Jeany, I have faith!

    Whilst we're both aiming for very different goals, under different circumstances, the fact that there's so much support out there will keep us going.

    Good luck hon, all the best xx
