Week 2 done!

Irishgirlrunning23 profile image

So happy to say that I've actually managed to make it all the way to the end of week 2!

I've found it so good sticking to the one every other day apart from weekends schedule. It has been so super cold in Ireland all this week but I've wrapped up really well. Focusing on going slowly has helped a lot too.

Something has come up as abnormal on a blood test this week, and I haven't any idea what it means, but I need to repeat that test. One step closer to figuring out what's going on, I hope!

I'll be repeating the test fasted on Weds and then seeing an opthamologist Friday, with the rheumatologist on Monday. I got glasses today after my prescription worsened and they're already helping!

Keeping positive as I move into week 3, and maybe a week toward getting some answers as to what's going on. Looking forward to it! 😀
