Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Log Day 63
Day 63 of my RA health log. This morning I woke up with my back still stiff, all across the top of my back from shoulder to should down to the middle of my back. Again I did not notice any tenderness in my shoulders today because my back hurt more. Knees were fine today, ankle felt a little stiff this evening.
I did 40 minutes of Wii Rhythm Boxing and 20 minutes of a combine random routine that is a combination of yoga and strengthening exercises.
I had to run out to do errands first thing today so I had a Starbucks venti mocha on the way. I had leftover chicken with macaroni salad and some chips for dinner. Tonight I topped off with some Cold Stone Creamery Founder’s Favorite which was yummy.
RA Health Log Day 4
Day 4 of my Rheumatoid Arthritis health log. This is starting to sound like Captains log stardate 2010.05.29, really! Today was a great day, no elliptical or Bowflex. I usually spend Saturdays with my camera and friend if we are both in town. So we walked around town taking photos. Holding that camera is exercise at times, it has taken some time for me to be able to handle carrying it. Now I have a bigger and heavier lens as well as a flash. So I did get a little tenderness in my shoulders and stiffness in my hand. What did I do? Switched sides! So the pain did not last long and was just a level 1 (annoying).
Food today, well I skipped breakfast and I had a slice of pizza for a late lunch. Tonight I had a yummy Strawberry Pecan Salad for dinner. (see photo.)
