Go to exercise
If you can exercise what is your go to exercise? What movement gives you endorphins big enough that you feel a little better?
Walking outside when weather permits. No gym, no treadmill...just plain walking.

That's awesome.
I hope the weather has been cooperating by you.

Thanks for your reply. I hasn't been great, I am in New Jersey, and I also have gotten out of the habit. I do what I can with what I have! I have some work to do to get back into "shape."
I hear you, (right there with you). My motto is "baby steps".
I hope it starts warming up for you in NJ and I wish you all the best.
Please keep us updated on how things are going.

Doreen, thanks fo the support and wishes! I used to walk at least an hour a day, usually more. Now if I do half and hour it's an accomplishment. I miss my old life but trying to accept the fact at least I can walk...when I was first hit with this I couldn't walk at all. Stupid lupus!!!
So many in this community can relate to your frustration.
I hope it provides a bit of comfort to know you are not alone.
Oh, and I would be patting myself on the back if I got 30 minutes of walking in...celebrate the "little victories". Always know this community is here to support you.
~Doreen (Team Member)one step at a time. I can relate to everything you said. I love your attitude of simply being in your now and doing what you can. ~Racquel~ lupus.net team member
