Thank God for 3rd and 1!


Several updates are in order I believe. First off, let me share my Sunday Funday Torture workout! Sunday was a glorious day. Just about 7 hours of football on TV. The first game, didn’t care as much about, but as a sports fan, I watched most of it. What a game! Anyway, the second game is where it was at for me (and Le Boyfriend). Being from Massachusetts (however, originally Ohio, so always a Browns fan I will be) we are Patriots fans. We didn’t get a chance to work out Sunday, so we decided to make watching the game into a workout. A first down was 10 push ups, a flag was 25 flutter kicks, a touchdown was 10 squats followed by a plank hold until the kick off was over. By the end of 1 QUARTER we had done 100 push ups, 100 flutter kicks and I did a 2 minute 15 second plank hold. That was the end of our game! It was a fun way to work out, never knowing what was coming next, but it was brutal. The best part was Le Boyfriend’s comment of ‘thank God for 3rd and 1!’ We may think twice before putting push ups with 1st downs!
Crossfit has been going well, the on-ramp classes will be over tonight, then we are let loose into regular classes, eek! Can’t wait! Unfortuanately (but really I can’t wait at all) we are going on vacation next week, so starting classes might have to wait another week. Ugh. We have learned cleans and presses in the past two classes. I was excited about the clean practice, I needed help with my form. I just patience will be needed, maybe I can get to a class before our vacation next Wednesday.
Now for my biggest update/issue/complaint, I think I’m having a relapse. I’ve been trying to ignore the symptoms for a few weeks almost a month, and was just hoping they would go away. They didn’t. They only got worse. My numbness, sensitivity and pain have gone right back to the levels they were at during the summer and then some. Now my left side is numb as well too. So I finally called my neurologist last week and made MRI appointments for tomorrow and Monday. Hopefully I will know before we leave and make a plan for when I get back. Rather frustrating, especially when I called this my good time of the year totally jinxed myself, I’m realizing now. I just keep on moving, going about my day, trying to not think about the weirdness going on in my body.
I need this vacation, Le Boyfriend and I are heading to Saint Lucia, a nice warm tropical local is the cure all for everything, right?

Your body functioning better so you feel better in 3 minutes? 

It sounds like a stupid infomercial BS claim I know and I roll my eyes every time I type it, but.. it’s kinda true? 

Idk, I’ll let you be the final judge

It’s an easy exercise with a silly name, but it actually packs a punch and can really change how you feel. 

Imagine measurably more energy and feeling more stable and balanced- and even improving a few MS symptoms here and there too?🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Your possibilities are endless!

Take a time out for a literal minute.

It’s amazing what happens when you take the time to care for your body and nervous system.

First year flower garden needed a post. Already looking forward to next summer, maybe a little less yellow? Can’t wait for the zinnias to bloom!
😂🌼💛
What are you growing??

Thankfully I haven’t heard any of these in a while.. maybe that means I’m getting my point across 🤷🏻‍♀️

But if you’re new here, I value holistic lifestyle medicine (snake oil 😂) but ALSO conventional medicine, I utilize it all after all. 

Yes, what we do as an individual matters for our health.
But so does the health systems we as individuals operate in.

Tomorrow is my MS-aversary, 16 years of having this disease. my newly diagnosed 24 year old self would be pretty shocked that I’m 40 (like in general lol) and also not in a wheelchair.

Here’s to many more years defying what I initially thought to be true about MS.

Comin with me? Hope so.

I’ve tripped a few times in the last few weeks.. nothing crazy, but I noticed.

And I noticed my thoughts… is this a “THING”??

Oh the constant wonderings of an MSer… 
is this a regular life occurrence?
Or is this a new symptom? 😂😂

When was the last time you had this thought process??

When you’re living with MS, it’s not that you don’t want to feel better…

It’s just that life keeps interrupting the plan.
Stress, symptoms, fatigue — they throw you off track.

That’s where support, structure, and accountability change everything.

That’s exactly what my membership is for.
✔️ Evidence-based strategies for MS
✔️ Real community and support
✔️ Gentle consistency that actually works

Only the waitlist is getting access as a Founding Member.

But seriously.. this isn’t too far off 😂

Life handed me a lemon that was a MS diagnosis at 24. 
Life handed me a lemon that was multiple relapses and MS progression by 30.

Then I snatched those lemons, made some healing lemonade, and feel night and day different than I did 10 years ago when my symptoms were at their worst. 

I could do it, my clients are doing it, I know you can too.

That’s why I’m so passionate about doing what I do. I know it’s possible for you to feel better in your body and be able to do the things you want to do. 

Like go for a walk or hike with your spouse, say yes to a spontaneous night out with friends or get up and down off the floor playing with your kids. 

That’s why I want to invite you to the waitlist for what I have coming.

Think, somewhere to go online, where you can: connect with others who have MS, get questions about MS answered, get tools that can help your symptoms, support & accountability to help with actually doing those things.

I have a saying about dealing with MS (and any other autoimmune/chronic illnesses) that inevitably comes up in my work with clients:
“You don’t get it, until you get it”

Meaning, you don’t understand living life with MS (or any of the above), until you live in a body that has it.

Which is why living with MS can be so tough and lonely, because its hard to find people that truly understand what you mean when you say you’re exhausted, or brain foggy or “fine”.

This is also why I believe that having a community of others who get it is invaluable.

I’ve seen countless times over where someone new to one of my groups is able to feel fully seen and heard for the first time, and that is priceless for them and their healing.

They walk away feeling validated, understood and at home, which are hard to come by at the doctors office 😂🙄

You’re not too much
You’re not alone
You’re not lazy
You’re just talking to the wrong people.

If you wanna talk to the right people, I’m creating something for you..

Think, somewhere to go online, where you can: connect with others who have MS, get questions about MS answered, get tools that can help your symptoms, support & accountability to help with actually doing those things.. 

BUT- only the waitlist is going to hear about it. So- if you want to be notified and involved in creating whats coming, comment WAITLIST and you’re in
