I have been in such a funk of late. And even though I don't feel like doing anything. I still exercised today with my husband. I walked on my treadmill(1 mile in 35 minutes). I also lifted weights, did leg lifts and jumped on my mini trampoline.
Now here's the thing. I know exercise is suppose to make you feel better. A natural pick me up but I just feel tired. I haven't been exercising so I will have to get use to it again. I think I'm so sad and stressed that it's going to take more than just one day of exercising to make me feel better. But I will continue on. I will do my best!
What I do feel is accomplishment! I didn't want to, I could have made excuses but I did it anyway. For that I thank my husband and Debb for her encouragement over this stressful time.
I go to a support group this coming Tuesday for caregivers. I think it will be a step in the right direction. It sure makes you grateful for what you do have! :0)
Well, I need to go to bed. I have my family visiting tomorrow. My house is not cleaned up enough but I just can't do anymore tonight! It will have to wait til morning.
Take care and I hope you are having an enjoyable weekend.
Till my next post...
You are exactly right Shirley! You did accomplish something! Your willpower was strong ... and each day will get easier. The trick is to make exercise a habit ... not a chore.
ReplyDeleteTake it from me (I used to be a personal trainer) it's not easy ... but you can do it .... and you are already closer than you were yesterday.
Big Hugs
