Miles and Miles of Magic

I have joined this website called dailymile.com in order to help myself get motivated to work out and get healthy! It is a great website that allows you to meet other active people and help each other to work towards a goal.  I am signed up as a walker mainly, I am able log the miles that I walk throughout the day and during exercises.

I thought about how I could log the miles I walk during the week of my vacation in Disney, since there is OH so much walking there! I went out to the store and bought a pedometer. I have tested it out around the house and it is pretty accurate, so I will be using it during my days in Walt Disney World to see how much I walk. I have talked to some people who have used a pedometer on their trips before and the were surprised at how much walking you actually do! So throughout my trip, I will log the amount of steps I take and when I return, I will share here on the blog. I think it will be quite an interesting experiment!

Health Update

Just thought I would give a brief health update since I had a Rheumatologist appointment today.

According to my doc, I am doing very well, the Enbrel is working well, she has filled a perscription for a year and everything looks like its going good! I am so glad! She even told me a few exercises that I can do without causing too much impact, so I think I am set to go for the summer! The only bad thing I found out today was that eventually I may develop osteoarthritis, but that will be a while away and as long as I take care of myself like I have been doing, I will be fine for a long time!

So glad things are finally looking good on the health front! :)
