Working Sick

 Monday, 3.1.21

Hey Everyone!

I may look fine on the surface, but inside, I'm in...pain??? Uncomfortable???


Today would be a perfect example of how I just wanted to throw in the towel on getting a workout in.


I woke up sick yesterday. I take my breaks from working out on the weekends. I'll do yoga to stretch my hamstrings and such. Maybe add some squats and situps--though it's not going well! I'm still round! What can I say? I love food!!!


Okay, I'm not making any sense! That happens to me too!!! 🙄


So, yesterday, I went to the walk in clinic. The people there acted like they've never seen me there before! I was there in early January!!!


Anyway, I got a prescription for antibiotics, and I decided to go to work. I asked my boss if it would be alright if I left early to pick up my Rx. He was like that's fine. I left a doctor's note on his desk anyway.


Today, I didn't have the energy to exercise. I finally hopped on the treadmill around 4pm today. Normally, I would get on first thing in the morning. It's been a thing since December. 


It took me two hours, but I got my workout in. Honestly, I am feeling a bit better! I just needed to motivate myself and push myself to just get to walking. Even if it's at a slow pace, I figure a workout is a workout. Low-impact, high-impact. It counts in my book!


That's all I wanted to say!


I think if you are having trouble with getting that motivation to exercise, do something that will entice you.


For me, I really don't watch TV until I'm on the treadmill. 

You don't have to watch TV. It could be your favorite songs, an audiobook, a podcast perhaps??? If you find yourself saying no to all of the above, well! Then. I really don't know what else to say! 


If you want to do something, you'll do it. If not, you'll make excuses.


My true motivation is to avoid medication as much as possible!!!

I hope you are all doing well? I was looking at this week's topic, and decided to write another entry into my health journal. Life isn't easy. It's not easy for me to get up and just hop on the treadmill. I do it anyway. I go on Monday through Friday. I just tell myself it's important to do this, and so I do it.  Granted, some days I'm feeling sluggish (Really girly times I'd rather not gross you out or anything), and so to break those generational curses, I tell myself to just go at a slower pace. ...

Almost 15 Months! This is Just a Reminder

Picture found on Morguefile   Dearest Readers! As you know, I have started getting on the treadmill regularly just before my 42nd birthday. *whew* There! I said it! This wasn't easy, but I knew I wasn't ready for blood pressure medications, and all the side effects that come along with it. Some people may argue with my saying, but that's fine. That's not where I was wanting to go with the topic. Finding time is a hard thing to do. My counts sometimes bottom out, causing me to be very sick. I could remember always being active, but I could remember being inactive as well. I always had an excuse like: * I just got my period * I'm sick * There's no time for me to do this today. * I'm just too tired, if I'm being honest The excuses go on. It's endless! I remember being in a car accident about 16 years ago. I was sitting at a stop light--yes, it was still red--when I got hit by a guy in a truck. Just a regular truck. But it took out my whole back end of t...
