October 15th 2023 – Slow n’ Steady

Oct 15th

Waking up today I really am feeling grateful. Had quite the day out and about yesterday with the madre, and it’s been great trying to get her out of the house! It’s really good for me too, if we are being honest..

What I’ve been noticing is that if I lay on my back, I believe that my right leg will start to feel a bit odd/ more tingly than usual.. yesterday I had noticed the tingling predominantly in my lower ankles on the right and left side, but this morning it’s there for almost my whole right leg? Which I find interesting?

My knees definitely are feeling so much, with the sensation of being tight and full really predominating in the morning. It’s great to know they’re there!

Yesterday I had gotten on all fours and was working on pushups planks, and hip thrusts. Which is something I realized I can and should do every day! I really enjoyed that.

I did also notice that my internal clock/ internal sensations for going yesterday were great. They would sound the alarm maybe 1-2hrs before my alarm would go off, and I would do business when I felt I had to go, instead of waiting for a timer! I figured it’s good acting on the things I feel, and maybe that’s how it starts down there? Just trying before I feel like I’m gonna burst?! Lol

I’m almost wondering if my right leg is feeling this way because of the increased activity for the leg’s yesterday? I think that’s an okay sign to me! Just slow and steady.

My hip’s definitely feel the sensation of being tight after I get up in the morning. And I think that’s fair cuz it is a lot of time not moving around! I was trying to make sure I gave myself the opportunity yesterday to pressure relieve just to move my legs around, not really for pressure sores, but to remind myself that they are there and they need that!

Slow and steady for all the progress. I think that’s a good mantra to tell yourself even for the work you want to complete in your external world and outside your body. Just small little things will make a big difference over time! You know this!

Also, don’t wait 13hrs to go pee……
