Working out with secondary lymphedema can be challenging. For the past three weeks, I have been working out consecutively with only two to three random rest days. I started with jumping rope for two weeks straight. I jumped for about 20-30 minutes every day and then started doing Billy Blanks Tae Bo workouts. I have secondary lymphedema in my left foot and ankle. You can tap here to read more of my secondary lymph journey if you would like.

These past few days and weeks have been heavy. I have learned to put them down and push them away on a boat. I envision my troubles being carried away to sea as I wave goodbye with a smile. I have learned that it takes more energy to hold onto pain and frustration than what it takes to find methods to let it go. There are people who cannot handle the truth once it’s spoken. Those are the same people then find fault in the one who’s willing to speak it.

There are times that you want to journal but can not find
the words to write out on paper or to type out onto a blank document. It can
feel frustrating because there’s a strong desire to want to journal and document
your day, but there’s sometimes getting in your way. That something can be the
thought of the physical act of journaling. However, audio journaling can help you
speak your thoughts without feeling limited to the physical act of writing or
typing easily. I have successfully been keeping an audio journal on my phone
for over 2 years. I now want to share with you how audio journaling can help
you get more into the groove of journaling without compromising your time or
urge to recap your day or week.
