Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis Dec 4th, 2012. Currently writing something 🤫
Trying to reach fitness goals, reading goals, writing goals, eat what I like (and not gain the weight back 😅), all while trying not to melt in TX

Unfortunately day 09 became an unofficial rest day. Needed to fix up the car more than keeping up 100days of workouts
Writing more for myself.
So now it'll be a 101 day challenge (I'm not turning tomorrow into day 9, I'd forget bout that before posting XD)

New week (for the year, I'll switch back normal soon o⁷)
Day 08 got cut short due to it smelling like a storm outside, plus it did rain earlier.

MS can cause mood changes.
These aren’t always reactions to stress — MS can affect brain areas that regulate emotion.
Irritability, low mood, anxiety, or sudden shifts can be neurological, not weakness.
Understanding this helps reduce guilt.

I decided to do something different this year; I chose to record my exercises
I'm not going to let #MultipleSclerosis define me, and I'm not going to stand in my way. I will do better than this year.
2026 will be better, that's the mentality I'm bringing and I'll be cussing thru each exercise lol

Your strength isn’t measured by how much you can do.
It’s measured by how much you keep going through:
pain, fatigue, fog, overwhelm, uncertainty.
You’re stronger than you realize.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

Cycling took the majority of time, but I'm using a gym bike so I don't have proper measurements
