Today is National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day. I found this out from Karen at Faith, Family and Fibromyalgia.

What is Fibromyalgia? I will pass on from the National Fibromyalgia Association their definition of it:

“Fibromyalgia is a common and complex chronic pain disorder that affects people physically, mentally and socially. Fibromyalgia is a syndrome rather than a disease. Unlike a disease, which is a medical condition with a specific cause or causes and recognizable signs and symptoms, a syndrome is a collection of signs, symptoms, and medical problems that tend to occur together but are not related to a specific, identifiable cause.”

Just recently, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and all I can say is it is painful and affects your life greatly. There isn’t a cure as of now, but there is some medicines that do help it, as well as eating right and getting the proper exercise.

Please pass on this message to others, the more people who know about Fibromyalgia, the sooner we will be able to find a cure for it.

Two years ago, our science co-op went to The Nature Center in Asheville. The kids had a blast! The Nature Center is one of just a few places to have a Red Wolf re-introduction programs in the country. They also have a Butterfly exhibit, Otter exhibit , a reptile house and so much more.

Throughout the school year and during the summer, The Nature Center also offers educational classes as well as summer camps.

The Nature Center is doing its best to teach everyone about the plants and animals located in the southern Appalachian region. I believe they are doing a fine job of it too. We will definitely be going back soon.

It was rough, but I made it through another week. I didn’t keep track on my food, my water OR my exercise. I was just trying to get through the week. I was just really busy with the kids, their schooling and activities, as well as with homeschool group activities.

I was really surprised and happy that not only had I lost the weight I had gained the previous week, but I also lost 2 more lbs. Day by day, prayer by prayer I am getting to where I need to be.

I will be starting over this week with tracking my food, my water and my exercise. I will be taking it day by day. I know with all the love and support I have, I will make it. I will get to my goal weight.

I keep telling myself over and over, “I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!”

You can too!
