YOU MATTER

August 14, 2021 pattysfitnessjourney

My 19 year old son said something to me last night that when I try to tell someone about it, it brings me to tears. Let me take you back to last night. A friend of mine has a daughter in middle school and on day one of school, this girl is already being bullied.… Continue reading YOU MATTER

Hand Update

August 9, 2021 pattysfitnessjourney

My right hand has been a source of concern for a couple of years actually. And with my new Rheumatologist in the picture I am starting to make some headway. To recap: about a year ago this time, I was waiting for my first appointment with the new Rheumatologist and I was screaming in pain… Continue reading Hand Update

Prioritizing Our Mental Health Is an Act of Courage!

July 29, 2021 pattysfitnessjourney

Where do I start? I LOVE the Olympics. I have since I was a little girl. I watched Mark Spitz win 7 Gold Medals in 1972 at the Olympics and set 7 World Records in the process. Friends and family used to ask me if my goal in swimming was the Olympics. It never was.… Continue reading Prioritizing Our Mental Health Is an Act of Courage!

Hiking

Choose Thankfulness

July 27, 2021 pattysfitnessjourney

This morning I woke up at 4:30 a.m. on my own. The last few days I've been feeling really well. Super rested, energized - but still have a bum hand. BUT I can hike this trail without the use of my hand AND sunrise was 6:09 a.m. Wouldn't that be awesome to see the sunrise?… Continue reading Choose Thankfulness

Some Teachers Are Simply Sent by God

July 26, 2021July 26, 2021 pattysfitnessjourney

Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary, use words.  When we moved to GJ 18 years ago, I was pretty much done with “preachers.”  I had just spent many years living with men and women who proclaimed to be preachers in “word” but NOT in deed.  I was very broken when I arrived… Continue reading Some Teachers Are Simply Sent by God

Dr. Visit Update: The biggest takeaway “It’s Dr. Visit Update: The biggest takeaway “It’s available to live without pain.” What? I’ve had pain (mild- but pain nonetheless -) for at least 5 years. I’m so glad to be back with my Rheumatologist/life coach. I am going to add a second medicine. But if I can live pain free by doing so, it’s worth it. For those who comment about my eating, I changed my eating 7 years ago and it’s made a big difference. I just need a bit more assist. I’ll keep you posted. Have a great weekend!

With an RA diagnosis, I get to see my Rheumatologi With an RA diagnosis, I get to see my Rheumatologist every 3 months. If I don’t, then I don’t get a refill on my medication. It’s a great time to check in with one another, check labs, and see if any adjustments need to be made. I’m especially excited because my Rheumatologist that I love was MIA for several months (she was taking a recharge break). Now she’s back at a new practice and I can’t wait to see her. She’s a life coach as well and I always leave our visits feeling better than when I walked through her door. This is a before photo at 6:50 am. I’ll update tomorrow how it went! #reclaimingmylife, #gettinghealthy, #motivation, #progressnotperfection, #healthylifestyle, #health #wlstories, #nsv, #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior, #hashimotoswarrior, #reclaimingpatty, #slowandsteadywinstherace, #youmatter, #kindness, #pattysfreshperspective, #samehere, #onedayatatime

Relatable? Unrelatable? You tell me. I got up t Relatable? Unrelatable? You tell me. I got up this morning and called/Face Timed my mom. Got dressed in my walking/hiking clothes. Looked at the weather — oh it will be much warmer at noon. I’ll go to work and then walk at noon. Off I go. Next thing you know it’s 2:00 pm and I hadn’t even eaten lunch. Suffice it to say - no walking today. But that’s okay! Lesson learned. I’m walking before work next time! Relatable?

To be honest, I hurt when I woke up. Was it the s To be honest, I hurt when I woke up. Was it the swimming? Was it the RA? Was it the weather? You get kind of tired of guessing. I had made a plan though. So I took two Motrin. What can I say? It helps me. Thankfully I don’t have to do it everyday.
