I love VICTORY!  I'm a stubborn girl and I love it as long as I channel it right.  I DID go down and work out yesterday, and it was a not bad one, so I don't feel guilty that I'm not going to today.  I volunteered this a.m. and THAT is hard work!

I've been experiencing pain/fatigue in my legs for the last couple of days-is that MS or am I doing too much?  Yes I worked them, and I was standing/walking up stairs for 5 hrs today, hmm I guess that'll do it.

My supplementing is going better at supper time - I think anyways - I feel good.

Here's the list of what I take:
6000 IU - Vit D
3000mg - Fish Oil/Omega 3
3000mg - Flaxseed Oil/Omega 3
3 B100's
1 B12 sublingual
3mg Folic Acid - 4hrs AFTER B12 or alternate days
Calcium/Magnesium (once a wk)
150mg (1tab)Magnesium

These I take in 3 equal mouthfuls (with a bite of chewed food-I know-ewww!)
In terms of exercise concentration, not only am I always trying to tone and 'thin' my legs, walking was/is where MS hits me first when it decides to 'talk' to me.  I lose my balance very easy, and my right leg isn't strong at all.  I usually try to walk near a wall so I can skim my fingers along just for ... you know.

So...when I work out I'm also trying to strengthen my legs to make them more able to withstand MS's 'talks'.  The stronger they are, the better able to withstand its 'onslaught'.

Moodwise I feel great, for me, the Omega's and Vit D are an awesome antidepressant. Aha, the sunshine we've had for past couple of afternoons doesn't hurt either!  Kinda funny (or sad), that I just bought a pair of heeled rubber boots!  Figures eh! Ah well, we're on the west coast-I WILL use them eventually!

Tune in tomorrow for more lifetime....thoughts ;->
