Here’s my daily morning routine. Wake up(very important) take my pups for a walk around the yard for about an hour(2 hounds and 3 acres) then I make a protein shake with a banana, naked whey protein powder, milk and sea moss! Sea moss has a lot of vitamins in it. Then light weight lifting exercise. This part is a little hard for me because I was a gym rat and was deadlifting over 400 lbs! Then I take a break and shower and relax for a bit. Then I do stuff around the house till I feel tired, have lunch and then take a nap with my pups 😊I know it’s hard to be positive every day but mindset is as important as keeping moving! Your brain needs just as much of a workout as the rest of your body!!

Just want to introduce myself and say hello. I was diagnosed in 2014 plus I have dysautonomia, chronic migraine, chronic fatigue syndrome, degenerate disc disease, sleep apnea and depression. . It's something everyday between the exhaustion and headaches/migraines and my back I rarely have a good day but I keep fighting it.i keep my little grand baby a few days a week my daughter helps me she lives with me and is disabled but she sure does help with her. I have a son which is my granddaughter daddy and a daughter in law. I'm recently divorced after 36 yrs he had a mid life crisis I think just completely different now and got remarried a few months after divorced but I’ve learned it’s his loss. Just wanted to say hello and I pray everyone has a good day.
