Lyme Diary entry 102

I started being concerned about my lack of muscle tone. Muscles start to atrophy after 3 days of inactivity, or so I read. Last week I realized how many weeks and months I have has physical exercise, aka, normal physical movement. So I began doing light, very light, active range of motion exercises for 2-5 minutes at a time.
Going up and down stairs, making sure I used my arms to lift and carry something, stretches, and such.
I know I've been getting up and forcing myself to move 100% but I realized I have to push through even harder, like 110%, to strengthen my body. Tears, yeah, every day so much struggle and effort and it's still not enough. Day after day after day. It really wears on a person.
  Anyway, it's just another change I've been working on.
