Slowly but Shirley~

{...whoever Shirley is...}
I'm almost mobile again, my hands are still numb, & my neck & lower back still keeps me awake at night, but I'm finally getting some unpacking done, & was able to (slowly) chop up a fruit salad last night for dinner...it was sooooo yummy! (Just banana's, strawberries, & blueberries, with a bit of lemon...) (I need to find my food processor & finally figure out how to use it!) I can't find my blender, am CRAVING green smoothies, so am fervently hunting for it!
...& it was hard, but i put my treadmill & stepper on Freecycling...one's gone, the other goes tonight...i just don't have the room for it, & want room to work out on the floor with my physioball, handweights, step bench, video's, & hopefully one day, the Bean! {similar to a physioball, but so much better...} Not to mention i need room to set up my massage table!
I'll miss them, (especially the stepper, felt it's effectiveness more than any other peice of equipment I've ever used!) but am determined to be walking outside more, on a daily basis, as soon as i can be on my feet long enough to get anywhere~
When I walk to the point of pushing myself, the IBS kicks in, so i need to stay close to home, or an accessible bathroom...it took about 30 days last time i was 100% before that settled down enough to not be a concern like it is now...
{...still haven't found the scale...will weigh in when i do...}
....am also craving chocolate, (used to be my 'energy-enhancer' of choice!) so I'm going to make sure i get some carob soon, for pudding & stuff~am also determined to sew myself some bags for making almond milk...it's time to get my kitchen fully functioning, we've enjoyed just eating fruits & veggies straight the last few DAZE, but are missing the variety & recipes...{not that we did anything real fancy! Lol!}
I've also been sniffling non-stop, & blowing my nose frequently, i think due to the dust I've been stirring up...
...I feel like my system is still totally on overload...i want to push to get better, but feel like my body is balancing on a precipice, & that if i push just one iota too hard, I'll tumble over the edge into a major total fibro flare-up, & that'll take a long while to recover...so I'm letting myself go in slow motion, thankful that at least I'm moving in the right direction~
{...all prayers much appreciated!}
