I had my 1-1 aerial silks class part of my fibromyalgia awareness week fitness challenge. This is just a quick photo dump, I will load videos. A very big thank you to everyone supporting the fundraiser - we are already halfway through! So if you haven't please share it around 🙏 and if you can spare a couple of pennies we'd be most thankful 💜

It was great to be able to get through the session without collapsing of exhaustion. I honestly didn't know if I'd be able to get through because normally when I do silks it's a few of us so we get more breaks.

But I did. I didn't hurt myself either. I sure as hell will hurt tomorrow but I'm glad I did. In case you don't know why this matters to me: I used to do gymnastics and dancing and many sports. My illness took my physical activities which were often part of my outlets from me.

I know I'll never be in the same shape and fitness as when I was younger. But every day I can get through a session like this is an internal battle I have won.

We celebrate fibromyalgia awareness week in the first half of September and since I didn't get to do much for awareness month in May, I am challenging myself with 3 personal Fitness challenges in this time period. I want to show that although this illness can be so destructive, we can still try and be as healthy as possible, mobile and active individuals.


I am going on a hike up Snowdonia on the 4th of September which is the first part of the challenge. Growing up, hiking was important for me and it can be a tricky thing to do if I'm going through fatigue periods.

The second activity I will be doing will be a 1-1 aerial silks class. I had to give up silks the first time I tried because of injury feed by the fibro and uncomfortable instruction. I have now found a fabulous teacher who is helping me a lot, even in days when my body isn't strong enough. I can still accomplish little things and it give me a great sense of being in control of my own body.

And finally I have set myself a high target of chair yoga. I don't like doing this activity as many know because it frankly just isn't my thing but this is good for my pain and mobility issues and I think I owe it to myself to try and keep it up for the sake of being healthier.

I hope you can all support me in this challenge. There will be videos/ pictures of the challenges I will be doing which will be shared on my YouTube channel @fibromyalgiakindness and our Facebook group by the same name.


Thanks a lot for all the help and support to raise awareness for Fibromyalgia Action UK.

Hello everyone. My fundraiser for Fibromyalgia awareness comes back for Fibromyalgia awareness week. This whole thing will be closing on the 10th of September.

I'm planning a bunch of content and awareness pieces for then, but since we only got 15 days I'm gonna ask everyone to be extra nice and help me share this around and please donate if possible.

If you were thinking of chucking a couple of coffees at me on BMAC, I'd be more than grateful if instead you sent that money here for the charity 🙏 I'm always thankful for your support but this is a serious matter and they've been struggling this year to even get runners for the races because of the weather in the UK has been so crazy, so I'm doing as much as I humanly can.

Thanks so much in advance to everyone who already helped in the first half of the fundraiser in May and thanks for allowing me to be so vocal about this 💜

HELLO DEAR PEOPLE! May is finally over and I have 2 days off and frankly I'm just happy I don't have to do anything because this has been a very hard month for me.

But I have good news! I've already scheduled content from tomorrow all the way to mid July!! I hope by then I will be able to livestream and address topics on a schedule 😊 I just need to get to 50 followers to be able to livestream from my phone so we are nearly there!

I hope you all have a lovely entry into June.

Lots of love

Hello beloved people. Tomorrow ends fibromyalgia awareness month and my fundraiser. We are about £40 away from hitting the mark. It would be great if we could make it. So if you could share it around that would be fab and if you have a couple pennies to spare even better.

You've been great support all throughout and I'm so grateful for you all💜

Thanks
