Not much to say

FMS wise I havent been doing too badly. Pulled my neck somehow...again.
the humidity is making my muscles a bit less than happy, but all in all....

Writing a Blog can be quite cathartic, but it is a shame more people dont feel inclined to comment. I figure if it isnt a private blog then its open to comments.
I know a Blog on FMS isnt going to attract much passing trade, but it would still be nice to find out who if anyone apart from my family read this.
Don't be shy.

Wii

My daughters got this Wii machine and it tests how "old" you are in fitness terms....when I first did it I was 80. Well wasn't that a turn on???
I like the bowling, I used to love to bowl, but hitting homers is tough on my arm muscles. Anyway one of my better days i got down to 27.....fantastic.
Beat my own kids....but now I am 45. Seems to be how good my muscles are; not a lot to do with actual fitness. I just wish it would help me lose some weight.
We are waiting for the Wii fit which Nintendo seem to be hiding somewhere or holding back to tease us. That might be fun, ....or not!!

One on one off.

So after my near normal day yesterday, here we go again.
It always seem to be like this.
Did I overdo it. In a normal life no.
Gardened for an hour. Spent most of the afternoon sitting and sometimes playing with Charlotte. Called a friend and walked the dog. Didn't even cook dinner, we slummed it on McD.
So what did I do wrong???
I have these better moments, but the hang by a gossamer thread and slip away so easily.
so today will be a "couch" day. Cant get out and finish the garden, cant really do anything. My stomach is upset ,my muscles ache, my head is really bad and I am Tired.
Is this real life.
What did I do this time??

What a work out.

I can only guess how my muscles might be groaning by tomorrow morning.
I spent 3 hours with my family this afternoon and played with my grand daughter.
She had me dancing chasing her and all sorts. I know I will suffer for it, but what the Hell, I ache anyway.
Pretty good day all round. No migraine, head not too bad, and managed to play with the little one.
As for tomorrow morning....watch this space.
Night.

Wii

So today I am aching badly from doing the "fitness"!!! test on the Wii.
I am supposed to exercise to help my muscles but I cant do it more than once because it hurts so badly the next day. How do you get fit, stay fit and lose weight....

Aching all over and then some

Fibromyalgia is the most stupid disease. Half the world have never heard of it, and the other half dont believe it exists. yet I have it!!!
What a relief it was to get a diagnosis after 5 years of thinking I was crazy.
What a bummer to find there is nothing that can be done.
So join me if you will in trying to make sense of FMS.
