I said wannabe . <| sep |> Maybe if he was kicking <| sep |> Not amazing at all . Its taken 5 years of trial and error and repeated failure . Losing weight , gaining weight , losing it again . I will say what got me over the hump was cutting sugar , carbs , alcohol . That got my nerve pain under control to the point I could exercise i . e . walk without excruciating pain and I just built strength back up over time . It has also helped me control my weight . Yes lots of slide backs if I can ' t run or do my other exercises for a while . That ' s just part of the game and it does make it harder to get back into it . But the thing is , the reward of feeling better is pretty clear to me now so that has motivated me to get back out there . Eventually running becomes super addicting and I have to force myself not to go some days to let my body recover . I would encourage you to try the C 25 K ! I don ' t totally understand the spoons thing so keep in mind running will make you tired , but its the best kind of tired I ever feel and makes sleeping so much better . It can also aggravate hypoglycemia symptoms with I and a lot of fibro sufferers have .
