Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Log Day 65

July 29th, 2010

Day 65 of my RA health log. My shoulders were not tender this morning and the stiffness in my back is improving. When I woke up I did have slight stiffness in my knees and that went away quickly. No other pain or stiffness.

I did 40 minutes of Wii Rhythm Boxing today and then walked around at the fair for about 45 minutes.

I had a Starbucks venti mocha for breakfast and had steak and potatoes for dinner. I also had some elephant ear and a bite of a fried Oreo at the fair. Still doing the high antioxidant chocolate.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Log Day 64

July 28th, 2010

Day 64 of my RA health log. Again this morning I did not notice any shoulder tenderness but did notice the stiffness in my upper back.  No other noticeable stiffness or pain other then my back. After my workout I did have less stiffness in my back but still probably at a 2 on the pain level after the workout. Before the workout my back pain was about a 4.

Today I did 40 minutes of Wii Rhythm Boxing and 20 minutes of a combination of yoga and other strengthening exercises.

Today I had a Starbucks venti mocha for breakfast. I also used the treat reciept for a grande mocha frappuccino which was yummy! For dinner I had chicken and fries. I also started some high antioxidant dark chocolate today, I heard it was good for stiffness and weight loss. We will see what it does in this next month.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Log Day 62

July 26th, 2010

Day 62 of my RA health log. This morning I hardly noticed the tenderness in my shoulders, my back muscles were stiff and more noticeable.  Moved around often last night to reduce pain. I noticed my knees being stiff off and on the last few weeks around a 1 on the pain scale most of the time, sometimes up to a 2. My back, shoulders and neck have been the worse. But I am still doing pretty good and staying active, the boxing does seem to help reduce the stiffness.

Today I did 40 minutes of Wii Rhythm Boxing. I am getting ready to do 20 more minutes of Wii but going to try something different,

Today I made me a latte for breakfast and had leftover chicken and chips for dinner.
