The struggle was real today. Exhaustion, nausea, pain all hit at different times of the day today but I pressed on. Kudos to me!
I woke up in pain with my joints and muscles as stiff as the tinman, super exhausted but I proceeded to my new routine. I put the A few minutes on the air walker before breakfast to wake up my muscles, but I was dragging after only 1 minute. I didn’t want to stop so I asked Alexa to play a few songs to perk me up and it worked! 11 minutes in the books before my mini cup of java, breakfast and a side of nausea.
Then around noonish for my quick lunch break, my eyelids were heavy and I was slowly starting to slouch in my chair from exhaustion. I got up and got on that air walker and began my mini workout. Again, exhaustion hits and my legs felt like heavy weights, so I asked Alexa to play some WWE theme songs and BAM! Lita, The Undertaker and Shinsuke Nakamura’s theme songs got me up to 12minutes this time!! I was super elated and proud. This extra go gave me energy for another 2 hours.
Then nausea started to set in again, which hasn’t been as frequent but with IBS and gastritis, you can’t really rule it out for good. The only thing I can do these days, is drink a little bit of ginger ale with water added to it since they changed the formula and thankfully the need to barf went away.
I wanted to get back on that air walker, but I got to thinking as much energy as I have and as much as I want to, I really need to hold myself back so that I don’t overdo it and injure or strain myself just as I’m hitting a great stride with my exercise routine.
So I did 40 reps of the resistance bands and walked for 10 minutes. Not bad for day 15 of a proper start to a steady exercise routine.
My take away from today was as I mentioned in the tips to getting better is patience. A LOT of patience with my body so that I can get stronger than I ever have been.
My other take away from today? There is nothing more helpful than a good music playlist. Here is what I listened to today, to get me past the 10 minute mark for today.
Cake by the Ocean -song by DNCE
Watermelon Sugar- song by Harry Styles
Espresso – song by Sabrina Carpenter
Undertaker Theme Song – Dead Man Walking
