Jess Impiazzi Instagram – I woke up today with a little bit of inflammation in my joints and worried my lupus might be flaring, it didn’t help I ate chocolate last night! But I’ve made a promise to myself that I’ll keep moving, even if it’s just a really slow run. I got up and got it done even though I woke up really not wanting to!
The amazing thing is I actually did a good time so I’m clearly building my base fitness again just by showing up! And I guess that’s what my point here today is… movement does help the inflammation in diseases like lupus and it can be so painful and a fine line between over doing it and just doing enough, but showing up each week with my lupus under control keeps me building that base level fitness and in turn my overall health!
Tonight we’re having a home made gut friendly butternut squash soup to keep down the inflammation (I’ll post the recipe) and I’ll continue to focus on showing up for myself!
Also side note.. my @sambird_official came with me today to cheer me on from the sidelines, everytime I saw him it made me go a little faster and couldn’t wipe the smile off my face 😂 he’s my happy place 🥰❤️ #parkrun #livingwithlupus #lupus #autoimmunedisease #autoimmuneexercise #wellness @myaida.app | Posted on 23/Aug/2025 16:10:35
