Last sunny Wednesday, may have been a normal day for you but for me, it was the day I made a massive stepping stone. It was the start to me hopefully becoming stronger. After many months of being in and out of hospitals for long periods of time, and many long days where I was too poorly to even walk a few simple steps, my once running-miles-fit muscles are now gone. All which is left is a twig of a leg with a wafer thin slither of muscle. The de-conditioning of my legs for me, is a sad aspect, for many of you, you would remember me being a crazy gym freak, running miles and always talking about the most up-to-date exercises! ...but how things have changed! Now I struggle to do the most simple of things, but after many days thinking about this, I've realised that you have to accept something in order to deal with it, and for me this means starting this Rehabilitation. I know I'm still on a long road, but I need to get stronger in order to keep going, and for any of you reading this in a similar position, you must find that little something to push you to do this, which I know is inside you! After having the first meeting, I've come away feeling extremly positive, and if I want to become strong I'm the only one who can do that for myself! I may not have a choice with everything else going on with my tummy and all the diagnosis's but I can show it that I'm a fighter and who's boss! I really do think enough and enough, I may be starting with a couple of simple exercises, but I'm prepared to make the time and get some foreign-like-muscle again. Another point we covered was nutrition, and I will do another post on my blog soon covering this! Lately I've been focusing on this quote quite a lot and I thought it was a great one to share with you guys...
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop - Confucius
No matter what it is your fighting in your life just know that everyday is progress. Baby steps are great and you shouldn't be hard on yourself if sometimes it seems too hard. One day you'll get to where you want and you'll be back on your feet! Have a lovely week everyone! x
