I started my journey to getting into physical shape. It was a tough week for me. In that I am fighting boredom already. Simply just standing for two minutes is boring. My sister suggested that I memorize verses while I’m standing. I love the idea, but decided upon looking at verses with my amplified version of the bible would be too much. My brain would not be able to handle memorizing a whole paragraph or two pages. I have an awesome brain, but that would be too much. I took it to God and he provided me with a different bible. Someone left the new American standard bible on the giveaway table. My apartment has an awesome giveaway table, so I grabbed the bible and am thankful that I can now pick out a verse to memorize while I’m standing there for two minutes. I also discovered that I have a tendency to do too much. The first day, I stood up 3 times for a total of 3 minutes each time. That night I couldn’t sleep because I was in so much pain. Not the kind of pain that would think I was sore from no muscle usage, but the kind of pain that made me want to rip my legs off and beat someone over the head with them. Not good. I just realized something as I am writing this. I haven’t had my annual Rituximab treatment and it is a month past due. My doctors decided since I had throat surgery I needed to heal first before I went through it. Thankfully I will be receiving it on Friday. Now I have proof that Rituximab is doing its job. My hands are achy too and I haven’t felt that ache in a long time.
Anyway, I have decided to stand up while I am brushing my teeth and hair. It takes me a few minutes. This week I will stand twice in a day for two minutes each time.
I am now at the one month mark for my bronchoscopy surgery with the Mitomyacin-C drug that I had done on May 25th. My throat is still open. I’m still breathing. I’m hitting 340 on my peak flow. This makes me happy. The real test will be when I hit the two month mark, because that is usually when my throat starts closing off. I’m trusting God that this is going to work. I’m loving being able to breathe. As I promised in my video above, here are some things that I have been finding encouraging. And I have chosen to memorize this verse this week as I am standing. Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” Perfect verse, right? What verse will you memorize while you are achieving your goal this week?
As Promised here are a few things that inspire me:
Ruby Locks Makeup by Jackie. She is an awesome young lady that I have known for eons. She inspires me to get back into make-up again. When I was a young girl I used to watch my older sister put her make-up on. I enjoyed the process. It is something I hope to get back into.
I am inspired by Chronic Babe, she puts out some great advice videos that inspire all of us spoonies.
Of course, then there is Joyce Meyer. I don’t need to say anything more.
