Yay Gym Time

I made it to the gym today. It is the first time in about two weeks. All of my workouts have been short 30 minutes since my last gym outing.

I spun out during my session last time and this is the first time I had stability from vertigo for two consecutive days.

My gym session was an hour with resistance training and weight training. There is minimal switching and movement to make sure I don't get vertigo during the session.

Set 1 - 2o each 3xs
Leg curls
Overhead press
Front lat raises
Side lat raises

Set 2 - 20 each 3 xs
Back kicks w/ resistance bands
Curls

The rest of my sets we're different exercises put together by my coach. The entire sessions was an hour and he cut it once he saw my eyes starting to "switch up". Its a sign of me pushing to hard and vertigo may soon come on.

Overall a great session.

Keep moving...

...just don't fall.

That's what I tell myself when vertigo hits. But there are times when I just can't move. At times I get worried because I don't know how severe a "little" spin may be.

I was on day two of feeling well and a trip to home goods for meal prep containers during lunch became too much. The glancing, moving of head while looking...well it did it. I needed help out of the store and into my friends car.

I was bumbed because I was sure I was going to make it to a training session with coach. I was able to stabalize by the end of the workday BUT I knew a gym session would not be a good idea. I came straight home after work and took a nap. Then I sat on the couch...upset. I told myself just do 30 minutes. Just get up and do something.

I took to walking in my treadmill. It is how I started my journey. Back to basics. Getting off of the treadmill did cause some vertigo. I sat down on the sucker until I gained composure.

Now I sit and rest. Satisfied with myself. Soon I will do more. Today I stay true to myself.

I'm still working at it.

I'm still actively working out and eating healthy. I haven't kept my special editions up or blogged because I'm working it! 

To more updates.
