Why do the BIG holidays have to occur so close together?  Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, my softail has become a wideglide.  Consider in the factor that I have Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, and don\u2019t exercise that much and you have a recipe for a fat chick.  <\/p>\n

Just the thought of exercising is exhausting.  When I climb out of bed, I\u2019m already in pain, stiff all over, and still exhausted after 9 hours of sleep.  How can I exercise when I feel like I\u2019ve been hit by a Mack truck?<\/p>\n

This morning I looked in the mirror and saw some other woman staring back at me.  She looked like me but, a larger version of me.  Where had the time gone?  Where did all those pounds come from?  I sat down and cried.  Now, mind you, I\u2019m not a shallow person.  I\u2019m not overly concerned about my looks.  But, I have put on 15 pounds in the last 3 months.  Between my chronic pain, fatigue, lack of exercise and poor weather conditions my body has run amok.  And \u201camok\u201d definitely does not<\/strong> imply that I \u201cam ok.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that being said, I decided to do some research on the subject of exercising with Fibromyalgia.   If you have Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, or any other Chronic Pain disorder then check out these sites and get moving.<\/p>\n

The first two on the list are my favorites.<\/p>\n
