Monday Motivation is back!!! A full body 25minute workout🔥🔥🔥
Make sure you warm up then set your timer for 25minutes.....work down the list THEN if you still have time.....work back up!!!🤛
For my pregnant Mumma’s.....do half-jacks instead of full jumping jacks, hands up on a bench/wall for mountain climbers, rise onto toes in squat jumps, walk the burpees in and out, replace squat thrusts with wide sumo squats and replace back extensions with shoulder bridge/glute bridges👍👍Any qu’s message me😘 let’s get the week started with those exercise endorphins flowing! 😘

A hip-replacement is a big enough challenge but add to the mix the ever-changing, never consistent or predictable world of Type 1 Diabetes.....then you have yourself a MASSIVE challenge!
The last 2 weeks have made me use absolutely everything I’ve learnt about Type 1 and my body. Ive had to use every bit of knowledge in order to attempt to control my blood sugars and I have to say that although 6.4 is not brilliant- considering ALL the factors I have had to battle to keep my Sugars down, I’ll take it as a WIN!
ALL of the following effect blood sugars:
Anaesthesia
Pain killers
Lack of sleep
Pain
Constipation
Getting emotional
Heat
Stress
Change of food
Reduction in movement
Sooooooo.......yep.....it has been a challenge! Hopefully now my Sugars are settling down a bit as the Factors are gradually being removed.

This is the compendium of drugs ( minus my Diabetic quota!) that I am supposed to be taking! As someone that has a history of mental health issues taking this amount of drugs and feeling so ‘out of it’ made me uncomfortable. Taking the full prescription of drugs available I didn’t feel myself, I felt over emotional, depressed and exhausted. These feelings, in my opinion, were far worse than feeling a little pain BUT feeling more ME!
I have now dropped all but the absolute necessary drugs ( I’ve double checked with Dr’s!) and I feel sooooooo much better! Yes, I have a bit of pain BUT my head is clearer, I feel positive & I can actually FEEL the improvements! For me less drugs = happier mental health ❤️❤️disclaimer- obviously this is a personal preference only!!!

I’m home!!!!! Mentally it’s a massive positive step forwards to be back home. Besides missing my Hubby and little boy all week, being in your own environment helps no end!
My initial fears of being able to cope at home have faded as I have accomplished them....
Navigating the apartment ✅
Being able to get to/use the toilet without all the grab rails available at Hospital ✅(although I have no great hopes for the life expectancy of the toilet roll holder as it subs for a grab rail😂)
Being able to get in and out of bed✅
Lastly & very importantly 😂....finding a comfy spot on the sofa✅
6 days on and I am slightly more comfortable.....still not sleeping well or in the best head space but DEFINITELY a step forward 👍
