I've not been to the gym for about two weeks now. I've also not done any exercises at home... Been too busy with the little dude. And I can't let him be downstairs on his own yet (in his crate) to head upstairs to ride my bike. We still have to train me going away a bit from time to time...

My weight hasn't been too bad, but my fat is gaining some, and my muscles are losing some...

I wish I could find a doggy sitter for a few hours during the nights 😂 so I could visit the gym...

Some days I am getting more exercise in, when Koa wants longer walks... But yeah... Pixy's fit journey is not doing too well, except that my weight went a bit down since I got Koa. 😊

I guess I'll have to be patient when it comes to my fitness and all that... It's for a very good cause! 🥰 But I do struggle with it at times, because I miss the "feeling good" from the gym. I get a lot of "feeling good" from Koa, and I'm loving that... But it's not all the same... 😊

Still, really not complain, as I did manage to lose about 2kg since Koa came to me...

Catch you all later folks!

It's been a while since I've shared a Toot here. 😊 I've been a bit busy, and not with exercises or anything... Although... Taking care of a puppy gives me quite some exercise at times as well. 

I have to say, I've been able to manage my weight a bit better now. Being so busy with Koa has made me snack a little less. Where I was at almost 86kg about a week ago, this morning I was at 83,8kg. So I seem to be doing something right at least...

I do miss hitting the gym. And I do miss being able to sleep longer times... But...

The little dude makes it all worth it! 🥰 And I know it's just temporary, and I know that it's important for me to be there for the little guy. When he is settled in properly, there will be time again to sleep better, and to get back to the gym.

For now, it's broken nights and naughty antics at times... But he's just the cutest!  especially when he's asleep

#GoodMorning and #TZAG everyone  

I've just texted my PT, after I took *another* extra painkiller for my shoulder and side. The muscles are so terribly painful, that it makes it hard for me to do anything properly. Heck, even yawning, sneezing, or something simple as blowing my nose feel like I am being punched in the side. 😢 I have my PT appointment tomorrow at noon. And I know that my PT is *incredibly* busy (that's what you get for being a good one, they all want to use your services ). But still, I have asked if he may have an empty spot available somewhere today, as I am not happy to be taking more painkillers (especially now my GP has cut me down for reasons unknown to me). Plus, in two days we'll be picking up Koa, and I would like to care for him with a little less pain than I'm experiencing now...

🤞🏻 Fingers crossed that he may just have had a cancelation, and is able to squeeze me in... But, knowing my luck, and how busy he is... I fear I may need some pills, and have to wait till noon tomorrow... 😔

I wonder if I'll hear anything from my GP, regarding my message to her about drastically lowering some of my pain meds... I am dealing with my hip still not being healed properly. I have my right hand that is causing me extra pain now. And, without any consult, without any reason known to me, she cut down my ibuprofen by about 75%!

I know they want you to take as little meds as possible. I know that people can get addicted to painkillers. But... I've had mine for 10+ years. I've not increased them. I even learned how to need less of them. But... The amount I was/am on, that was the bare minimum that I need to make it through the day... 😔 Now I'm dealing with extra pain, and with those muscles that are *very* painful (and I have no idea why), and she cuts me back from 2 pills a day, to 15 pills for 30 days!

I can't take all sorts of meds. Some make me more sick than anything (paracetamol makes me vomit and get migraines, naproxen gives me terrible sores and blisters, even in my throat and mouth...). So the ones that do help, the ones that make it possible for me to exercise, to do the chores at home, to sleep...

I wrote a long message about this to my GP. I wonder if she'll see it. I wonder if she'll respond. I still don't understand how she can "just" change this without even discussing it with me... Without providing any other options. I want to be able to live, not to be useless because I'm too overwhelmed by pain... 😔

So, fit wise, I'm not doing too well. I can't seem to lose any weight. I can't train properly. And while I am super excited about Koa coming home soon, I'm also a bit worried now, as I'm dealing with so much pain at the moment...

Thanks to all for your kindness and support during my "journey through daily life"  I really appreciate it   as it helps me to keep going on bad/harder days!

Well... Sometimes life brings all sorts of bits to deal with... While I am getting all excited, and a bit anxious, for my new boy Koa coming home in 5 more days...
I've also been scheduled for another surgery... 😔

This time, they will try to repair my right hand, as the x-rays they took showed that there's severe osteoarthritis. My left hand has had this surgery as well. But the first "surgeon" messed up big time. I got to a different hospital, and they did their best to repair the damages done. This hospital will do the surgery on the right hand, so hopefully, this time it will go right in one go... 🤞🏻

The surgery is scheduled for June 18th, so two months from now. I hope that, in the weeks until then, I'll be able to properly start training Koa... So he can be with my parents during the surgery (it's a day op, going in in the morning, getting out in the afternoon). And so that I can care for him while I'm recovering (with my right -dominant hand in a cast). 🍀

My physio took an echo of my right hip, and saw some damages in there. He'll redo the scan in a few weeks. If things don't get better, or even get worse, he'll ask the hospital to do a better scan. As the internal damages can be the reason for my continuing issues with pain and discomfort in my hip area. With all my previous surgeries, rebkvery always took less time than this... 😔

I've been struggling with my weight as well. Even when I do my best not to snack, and to exercise as much as my body allows me to, I still can't seem to get my weight down to a better number... *sigh*

So yeah, the fitness journey isn't doing too well at the moment. But I will still do my best to keep my health as good as I can... 😊

My body isn't happy with me. My leg has been bothering me more lately, which is causing my back and shoulders to be bothered as well. 😔

I am trying to not stay focused on all that I was able to to before... I need to learn what I am able to do now. But... It's hard to accept because the now is way less than the then... 😢 And I am not handling the setback well. It drags me down even more. Making it more complicated to stay motivated to keep working on what I can do... Because it's not enough, according to some voice in the back of my head. But I can't do more, so this will have to do now...

I am trying to walk the treadmill now. My lower back is not happy. But I have a slow pace and I won't push myself too long. I feel things will only get worse if I do even less than I could be doing... If that makes sense... 🤔

OK I'm doing this...

Even while in the couch with my book, I felt a bit sore but...

I'm on the treadmill now... Don't know how long, but every bit is a win!

Well... I tried to adjust a bit. At the gym, I rode the bike a bit shorter, so my leg would not get too messed up. Then, I walked the mill for ten minutes. It's not much, and I did less than I usually would have done. But I went back to the mill. And yesterday I did two arm exercises.

I need to find a way to get more comfortable with exercise again. But that's hard when your body and mind are struggling with discomfort and feelings of failure.

My lower back is not too happy with me. I want to walk the treadmill, but I think I need to relax a bit first. I do have physio today, and there will be puppies at the end of the day! So, hopefully those things will help me...

Due to me being alone, often when I buy real food, you know, with something like veggies and such, I get two portions from the packages of veggies, potatoes, and meat.

So, yesterday and today, I managed to make myself some "real food".

I know, it's still not the most healthy, but due to my autism, I have sensory issues in my mouth and with my smell, so I can't just eat everything. But... It's better than slinging on the airfryer and making something easy (and less healthy) with that...

It may not seem like much... But believe me, the way I've been struggling lately, I am sharing this because it's a big win for me, and I'm even a little proud of myself...

Yay! Now, I need to find a way to get my exercise level back on track... 💪🏻

The last week, the last few weeks, I've not been doing well, both physically and mentally.

I slacked with my exercises, I gained weight, and I had all these excuses to not do better.

I hate what I was doing, or not doing, and it only got me more down... 😔

Tonight, I had less than 4 hours of sleep. Still, I pushed myself to do two little arm exercises at the gym. And, after some relaxing, I'm currently walking the treadmill.

I wanted to just stop after 15 minutes, but I'm trying to push myself forward. I used to enjoy my walks with Arwen. And in less than three weeks, Koa will come. Granted, no long walks for him just yet... But I owe it to him, and to myself, to do better...

So, I'm trying to get to 30 minutes. Only 2,3km, but mostly with a slight incline. My back doesn't like it. But I know I can do it. 💪🏻

Hopefully, I can keep it up...

Well, I relaxed a bit, I wrote a bit for my blog, and then, I tried to read for a while... But I struggled to focus so, I got upstairs and... I am riding the bike now.

Don't know how long I'll manage... But every bit should help with getting some exercise in... *trying to think positive*.

I'll make sure to relax for a bit later on, as today will be a longer day. But... As I may have mentioned before... It will end with puppies! 🤎 🐾 🤎 Whoohoo!

Catch you all later folks!
