One foot in front of the other

[clevermanka]

I went for a walk this morning.

Since I went to bed super early (just a bit after 9pm) I awoke at 5:58. Got dressed and was on the high school track at 6:15. I made it around the track four times before I had to head home to get ready for work (I walked for about half an hour). On the walk up the hill to work my legs were super tired. Especially my hips/glutes.

This is me, not being discouraged. This is me, doing what I can to avoid a sedentary lifestyle. This is me, trying not to cry about not lifting heavy things. Seriously, I have that burning/tickly sensation behind my eyeballs when I think about how glorious it would feel to do a set of Thrusters.

Way to go on the movement. Were I a morning person I'd virtually join you on your walk. As it is I will join you on a time delay by going for a walk tonight. I hope it gets easier for you to find things you can maybe enjoy that work with your body.

This is me, still sitting in the Rah Rah section. :-)

I know this is a hard adjustment. but you are still exercising. even when it's hard. a different kind of hard, but *even when it's hard.*

Ah ha ha ha ha ha! Yeah, burpees do suck. I don't know why they suck (plyometrics, maybe?), but man they sure do.

Burpees are, like, FOUR things I don't like doing, that I have to do in sequence before I can count to ONE.

When I analyze it, I think it's the speed and the jumping. Because I enjoy squats and pushups are fine. Doing those things, well, doing anything quickly? And jumping back and forth and again at the end?

=( I am so sorry you're not getting to lift heavy things right now.

Thanks, bb.

*HUG* I get it. I'm so sorry you're going through this, but incredibly impressed by your determination and drive. You're awesomeness itself.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Aw. Thanks, hon. It's keep going or lay down and die, right?

You're doing really well regardless.
Hey, maybe a couple days of restorative yoga is in order?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thanks. sigh Trying to avoid comparing myself, you know?

I'm scheduling a 90-minute block of time for myself on Saturday to do a thorough yoga session. Try to get myself back in the mindset of regular home practice again.

That's the spirit!
