Saw the hairstylist. Made some green juice at home. Watched old movies with my valentine while Snoozing away the day. Made a vegan stew and salad. To bed early.

Busy week of appointments. Stretching each day with increasing repetitions on resistance bands. Taking a rest for a couple days.

Got the okay to do aquatics from the doc. Yay! Also, mild stretch and 1400 steps today.

I have no contact with the sexual abuse cult aka the mother, 2 brothers and sister. I wish I was courageous enough to have done this for myself over 30 years ago. imho I would likely have managed my disorder more effectively.

I selected option 3, however, the no contact policy established was and continues to be empowering for me. Not horrible. What was horrible was the decades of self abuse trying to navigate the dangerous waters. I wish I had done this at age 20 instead of 50. My life is starting to heal and...

Stickin swith my spring 2015 goal. Join a yoga class and be up to 4000 steps. P90x goal by 2016 seems more realistic.

Happy power walk on beach yesterday, 2200 steps. Looking into PX90 that many here have mentioned. Today, mild stretch and short walk. Getting out of house is easier today. Thanks for sharing. This thread helped motivate me from stretching while bed ridden to 5 minute walks to power walking for...

Increasing repetition and number in sets each day last week. Resistance band stretching, crunches, lifts, circles, bends, lunges and circles (arms/legs/ankles/waist/forearms wrists/hands). Pilates. Minimal walking. Lots of house cleaning and unpacking of boxes, organizing office and book...

Spent the week making my house a home, a start at unpacking my office. Hung some artwork. Cleaned my book case and picked out a re-read of an old favorite. Slept and napped a lot. Mild exercise.

10 minute walk on the beach

Ten minute walk on the beach. Healthy lunch coming up.

Planning a healthy menu. Slow research on PTSD....cracking the door and protecting myself by not over doing it.

.....when I wish I were a combat veteran so I can participate in studies and be recognized as an actual "form of PTSD" in the medical/social community .....when I see a "warning to proceed" notice only include: Weapons or Mental Issues and become offended that I am considered as violent as a...

Fibro is calming down with a break in the weather. Swept floors and did some chores....mild stretching afterward. Think a power walk is on the schedule today, for sure.

I am happy to find such topics, responses and discussion during my first peruse outside of my homepage settings. There are many who are currently researching (from what I've been told) for genetic markers..."but they just aren't there quite yet." I agree. There are many researchers on this...

36 repetitions each: resistance knee bends, leg rises, elbow bends and arm circles, hand bends and ankle circles, too. That's it so far. Hoping to use my pedometer and go for a walk later in the day...fingers crossed.

...When staying mellow and calm takes a lot of planning and focus.

Mellow morning watching period pieces and documentaries on castles. Healthy lunch. Listening to family write and rehearse songs. Learning to pace myself.

Made an appointment with a nutritionist. Getting my eyes checked tomorrow, too.

Taking some healing time. Making the bed and fluffing pillows is as about it today. Oh and some yoga stretches

I know I have PTSD when... Having even part of an hour or any day free from worry, extreme self reflection. fear of people or the doubt "any of it will ever get better" seems like a far fetched ideal. OR when... Taking action or even thinking about how hard it is to go outside is more paralyzing...

Pulled together a couple of more documents for the Divorce Workshop". I am glad I will not have to locate this person for a signature. Some friends are suggesting I change my name. Wow, has it all really come to that? Anyway, next indicated step is showing up on Feb 5th as prepared as...
