I find myself wondering that, at the end of every WOD, as I lay on the floor, dying. ‘That was awful!’ *pause* ‘But it was so awesomeeee’ And I’m back the next day.
That’s how Crossfit has been going for the past few weeks. Excellent workouts, ridiculous WOD’s and I feel pretty good. I had to take a few weeks off due to being sick/hurt, like usual. But I’ve been back consistently for a few weeks now and everything feels fairly good (knock on wood). My workouts this week consisted of
Monday: Warm up of running 100 m, air squats, push-ups and sit-ups. The strength portion of the day was front squats, which felt pretty good. My coach adjusted my hands halfway through (from 3-4 fingers on the bar to 2 fingers), and they went way better after that! Then the WOD, run 100m followed by 10 burpees, 10 rounds. Ugh, it was somewhat brutal. By somewhat brutal, I mean totally. I’ve done more challenging workouts in terms of cardio/strength, but I think the combo of running and the up and down of the burpees totally threw my brain for a loop! My vision was so blurry/double, I felt like a cartoon character that got hit in the head! You know that scene, where the character shakes out their head and that odd noise plays? That was me. For basically the whole thing. It was a challenge to run in a straight line. Very frustrating.
Thursday: Warm up of rowing 500m, air squats, sit-ups, push-ups, run 100m. I decided to not do the Olympic lifting choice of the day, which was the snatch (I somewhat regretted that). I did alternating sets of kipping pull up practice and squat holds with a 10lb plate instead. I hadn’t done kipping pull-ups yet, so that was fun and new. The WOD was 10 KB swings, 10 Step-ups with the KB then run 100m. I used a 26lb bell for the swings, those went fine. I tried the step-ups with the bell, but they hurt my back in the worst way, so my coach said lose the bell. The 100m run after was fine too. This was a 14min AMRAP, I got 5 total rounds done then an extra round of swings and half a round of step-ups. Overall it was a good workout, nothing too crazy.
Friday: Today was infusion day, so I did my own thing before I went. Warm up of air squats, jumping jacks, wall squats push-ups and leg swings. I did some Deadlifts and Back Squats, to keep up with the percentages I have going at Crossfit. It was a pretty good day. I felt strong, and like I was getting stronger. The squats felt good and easy, I was surprised.
Saturday and Sunday: I got to play outside! Le Fiancé and I played tennis since it was so nice out, finally!! Hopefully this upcoming week stays on an upward trend!

I get it..
It seems like it would be good.
Because others around you are taken care of..
Because others around you feel good..
Because others around you are happy..
But what about you??
In reality, that’s just making it harder for you to help yourself heal and probs making your MS symptoms worse.
I’ve worked with so many people with MS and autoimmune disease… 1 thing (among many) that they all have in common is a habit of putting others before themselves, saying yes way too much and forgetting about what they want themselves.
Feel a little called out?
Then my course Embodied Resilience is for you.
This is a course all about managing + improving your stress tolerance- since stress is the number 1 trigger of symptom flares and relapses
And- it’s on sale for Black Friday!!

✨How to do this✨
First! Like + save this post so you can come back to it for reference
Now, set a few alarms on your phone- ideally in the morning, afternoon and bedtime.
These will serve as your reminders.
Then, when the alarm goes off:
✨Pause, take a few deep breaths
✨Check in with your mind and body- how are you in this moment?
✨What are you thinking?
✨How are you feeling emotionally?
✨Is there a thought that needs to be challenged/reframed?
✨Are you being present in the moment?
✨How are you feeing in my body?
✨How are you breathing?
Some of these questions might not apply to your current situation and that’s fine
This is the first step to interrupting the very unhelpful patterns we often live in that can increase symptoms via heightened stress
This is one of the big things we work on in Holistically Healing MS, which will be on sale this weekend for Black Friday!!

✨Moving your body✨
Notice I didn’t say exercise, although yes that also helps.
Stress hormones can get stuck in our bodies, our cells, our muscle tissue for various reasons.
Making it super easy for us to carry stress around with us- which shows up often as:
Pain
Tension
Trouble breathing
Difficulty with balance
It’s no coincidence that these are often prominent MS symptoms too. Sometimes it’s hard to tell where effects of MS end and effects of stress begin.
Being able to offload accumulated stress is key to being able to improve MS symptoms.
My course Embodied Resilience shows you exactly how to do this, and it’s gonna be on sale for Black Friday.

Do you do any form of meal planning?
I think 90% of my clients have talked about already feeling the shift to Fall and Winter hardddd.
They are worried about seasonal depression coming back with a vengeance, feeling sad summer is gone and so many other things.
I know when so many feel the same way, you might too.
I know I feel this way too.
I’m working with them to put habits in place NOW that will support them through the winter months.
Here are 2 small shifts we talked about this week:
1. Get sunlight into your eyeballs as soon as you can in the morning.☀️☀️
Ideally this is outside, there will be many science bro’s out there telling you that anything else “doesn’t count” but I say that’s BS.
Yes, the sunlight will have a greater impact if you’re viewing outside, but even if you’re behind a window it will do something.
2. Move your body!! 💃🏃♀️
The change in seasons to colder weather makes it super easy to hibernate and move wayyy less than we were in the summer.
I know I’ve been guilty of that this week and it’s showing in my sleep.
But moving our bodies can be so helpful for regulating so many things in our bodies.
Ideally you’re moving in the morning, but again- any time of day will do.
These are 2 small shifts that can make it easier for your body to transition to, and live with the Winter months.
Let’s crowdsource… what else helps you in winter??
