Day 13: and the lovely @yvonneyau91 was the first person to join me in my challenge! We did a muffin top workout by the fabulous #jakedupree and then i hopped on the bike. Its so much nicer to have a buddy during this #30daysoffitness challenge, it shakes things up, makes it fun. We laughed, we swore we got sweaty. And all for a good cause #nikkivsfibro #cardio #fitnesswithfriends #homeworkout #fmauk #fibrofitness #fibromyalgia #chronicpain #fitfam #fitmum

Day 9: after a somewhat stressful bastard of a day i decided todays workout had to be at the gym @puregymofficial again and had to be intense and long! It was the healthiest was for me to vent, and nodody got hurt except for calories and fat. After burning 888 calories im now sat nursing an achy ass and eating tofu. #nikkivsfibro #30daysoffitness #purededication #puregymsalford #cardio #cardiofitness #fitmum #mumslosingit #momslosingit #altfitness #fitjourey #workout #gymtherapy #fibromyalgia #fibrofitness

9 days in!

So i am 9 days into my 30 days of fitness journey, I have so far raised £300 for the fantastic FMAUK . Instagram and such can make it look easy, take a wee photo and a little blurb and it all look smooth and dandy! but the truth is, I have struggled in parts. I have struggled with my confidence in my ability, I have struggled with my hip (it needs n x-ray) I have struggled with my fibro and a bit of a tummy bug. The motivator inside me wants to say “ but i got up and i carried on “ and i did but on the bad days i have had, that conversation between myself and my body had taken longer than usual and though i’d love to say “ and i hopped right up and went to the gym” it was more like a “ and i slowly dragged my arse up and went to the gym”  I did this same challenge a couple of years ago, and i flew through it and i thought it would be the same this time, but with time comes change either for the better or the worse, and mine has slightly been for the worse. a double whammy of pneumonia took its toll on me for sure, so the fight this time is alot bigger than last time.  However today is da 9, and though i feel deflated (to be struggling) i feel empowered because i am 9 days in, 9 days of fitness have happened, 9 days of get up and go, and 9 days of movement towards the better. Yes the odd day i fell down afterwards but hey ho! thats fibro for you . Day 9 - Bring it on.
