Today I worked on an elliptical machine for 31 minutes. Then I did 30 min on weight machines.
In the afternoon, I took the pup for a 20 minute walk...I'm tired...

I went to physical therapy today and felt like I was dragging 50 pound weights behind me.

I tried to play one of the games on my Wii balance board last night (bike riding. you walk in place on the board) and it gave me vertigo. I need to try to find another game that doesnt make me queasy.

At least the sword fighting game is fun and doesnt make me sick. I like beating up the Wii characters.

I haven't been around much since they blocked neurotalk on our work computers :(

BBS! Thanks for bringing this back! I am still riding my bike, and faster than ever! I have somewhere around 300 miles of riding under my belt since around January 15th. I do 45-60 minute spin classes 2-3 times a week after work and right now I am doing training rides for the MS150 in mid April. Last Saturday we did 54 miles in about 3 hours and 30 minutes of ride time. The weekend before I went out with our "Because We Can" group of riders with MS and we did an easy family ride of about 15 miles and then all had a potluck picnic together. It was alot of fun.

Even if I am not around as much, I still think about y'all all the time. The batdanna will definitely ride again this year and I am slowly accumulating more signatures on it.

Well, I have gotten so sick of this weight, I am eating healthier and exercising with my husband and a friend of ours.

Sunday I did an eight min mile on the wii fit but ran for ten minutes total! I was so excited, I wasn't even able to do that in high school. Today I ran eight minutes for an eight min mile, then I did beginners Pilate's for 34 minutes. If I do my Pilate's after a strenuous exercise my muscles don't hurt so bad.

Unfortunately the last several times I have tried to exercise in the past two months I have aggravated different symptoms from my MS. Especially the pain, that tends to knock me completely out for days. I'm trying to push through it, but any more activity only makes it worse. So, I'm trying to find a level of activity that will be helpful without landing me on the couch for days.

One thing we found that helps me, is to get the whole family involved. I find I push harder through the fatigue. We like doing the Kung Fu moves together. We each take turns on the board while the others follow along.

i have been thinking of getting a wii, bu not sure if i have the space for it. plus i would have to get a bigger tv, only have a 19 inch. my brother has one and i played games over his house before it was fun for the whole family

STarted my car to warm up for town errands. Took a 1/2 mile walk, as I passed the house to finish the other 1/2 mile I didnt hear the car. Came up the drive to find a dead car. Hmmm...yesterday the dash light said check charging system, so I figured its been a long winter, the battery must be run down. I wanted it to run a bit. Nope, its dead, and clicking! Called a tow truck, had it dragged to the dealer who closes at 1 so, it wont be fixed today. At least its under warranty including the tow.

Thats enough exercise for today. Im pooped! :p
