Can I be sick and fit?

About two years ago, I was diagnosed with an auto-immune arthritis disease. We've finally found a combination of medicines that seem to work so my pain is manageable and, for the most part, bearable. However, it is still a huge part of my life and it has given me a rather negative outlook about my body. I'm hoping that getting in better shape will help improve both my health and my self-image.

--> I'm twenty two.
--> currently 5'10 and approx. 150lbs
--> 35.5 - 27 - 37
--> gluten free diet since April 2012!
--> working out every day when possible!
--> cardio and weight lifting. I'm restricted to mainly low impact exercises, doctor's orders :(

PS: Since this isn't my main blog, I can't follow you back from here. But no worries, I follow everyone back from my main account. <3

I hate when you’re in the bathroom and there’s a line of people waiting and trying to open the door… Excuse me. I have digestive diseases. Leave me alone.

Why I try to avoid using public rest rooms some days..

nateriot: Obama on gay adoption  Really should be his stance on being a father. Just because you can procreate doesn&#8217;t make you the parent. The person who puts the time and effort into it is.

dahliafit: Saw this in a magazine…To everyone who thinks becoming skinny will be the solution to everything. You still have to love yourself first no matter what the number says on the scale.

lovehealthlive: 1. Monday!- Ok. So i know not all of us have cheat days…but they are usually on weekends right? Yeah. So your belly is still full with those cookies and that slice of pizza. So it’s normal for the scale to be a couple of pounds higher. 2. During the middle or end of the day- Hello! You have been eating all day! You have already had breakfast, lunch or maybe even dinner! You haven’t digested all that food yet.  3. After a shower- You are all wet. Now this won’t make the scale go up too much. Put if you see a pound or two more than before. Blame the shower. 4. When you are on your period- Girls. You are stressed, bloated, and for some reason 10 times hungrier on your period. Gaining 5 pounds or less when you are on your cycle is normal. 5. Right after a workout- Sometimes after you workout you think “I know i lost some pounds doing that!” Nope. Working out causes your muscles to retain water. So the scale will lie and tell you that you have gained 3 pounds or even more. 6.When you are having the least confidence in yourself- Everybody has those days where they just hate the world. So getting on the scale might not be the best thing for you at the moment. That 105 could turn into 205 in 10 secs. *This doesn’t apply to everyone. So when is the best time to weigh yourself? Right when you wake up. Use the bathroom…strip naked and wait for your results. This is the most accurate time to see how much you really weigh! Don’t weigh yourself everyday. The best day to weigh yourself is Tuesday or Wednesday. Remember, The scale weighs EVERYTHING in your body. Not just fat. So if you have been hitting the weights or have become familiar with strength training. Do not worry if your scale goes up. As long as you are healthy. It shouldn’t matter!  TAKE NOTE.
