Using Instagram for other reasons besides stalking

Have you ever looked at other's blogs, just to motivate yourself?

I am a gym rat. I love working out. It's something i can control in my life. I love gaining muscles, getting stronger, adding weight. I'm not into "toning" i want to BULK. I've done a pretty good job of it so far, There's some muscles on my body i have never seen before.

 When i feel like i'm "slacking" i like to look at others blogs or photos on instagram. In life you need something you're dedicated to. Something that you have to turn to when all else spins . Something that remains constant. Mine is fitness. Outdoor, running, crossfit, HIIT, classes, yoga, lifting, especially lifting. I love seeing veins pop in my arms and shoulders. seeing muscles without flexing :)

Why does this blog not have autocorrect? *sigh*

Looking at others can be motivating. Not to necessarily compare yourself, but to see what you can become. Something to look forward to, a goal to achieve. And this is true of other interests; cooking, paleo, photography, couponing,  shopping, outdoors, animals. Just pick something you love! Look up blogs, look up photos. It's a great way to explore what's out there.

For instance, i was looking for motivation. I saw on instagram someone had posted their favorite instagram site. So i went to it. Wow! It's made by a personal trainer. She posts pictures, AND videos of different workout routines. and let me tell you, that girl's booty is POPPING! Definitely a goal for the future!

Oh, and I'm going off steroids as of today :) Yay Thursday!

Biologics and yoga

Happy Saturday y'all! Three day weekend for me, in the wicked cold of South Carolina! Yoga and the indoor shooting range today...and friends all day tomorrow! Love this weekend!

Got my first injection of cimzia about 10 days ago..not sure if I'm just being optimistic, but I honestly felt better within just a few days!

I also had cut out sugar..but I have done that before and still had issues 

Today, my freezer pack of meds finally came. Such a huge box for two tiny syringes. I'm so excited! I'm looking forward to my future. Being healthy, gaining weight, feeling like myself again. (My new self will still not include cow milk--had some yesterday with some Ezekiel cereal..ugh. No bueno) 

Maybe I'm bein too optimistic. But what else Can I do? Cry about it? Pft. Done with that. It's all about my positive outlook on life. And my glorious new future include the Seahawks winning their first Super Bowl :-) we hope...

Cimzia!

Today I finally got my first dose of cimzia! I haven't been waiting a long time..since I no longer respond to traditional methods. The insurance has been fighting this awhile. My doctor originally prescribed me humira, and then decided Cimzia because he said it was safer for people of child bearing age. 

I still have not received my dose from the company, but my doctor gave me a dose they have around the office for break through flare patients. 

I didn't realize the doses were so big! When she grabbed my thigh and inserted the needles, it hurt!! It isn't big, but there is a lot of fluid between those two needles. I was excited for it though, I've just been getting worse. Diarrhea for over two weeks now, and I can feel the sharp pain of my ulcers. Scared and excited! 

He said I should feel a difference within two weeks. But peak within a month. Not sure what happenes if biologics don't work, but I'm staying optimistic! Now it's bed time, between new shots and high doses of allergy shots and a full day if work, I'm pooped! ;-)
