My body is in shock and is revolting against me. Why? I have decided to get healthy and fit. No, seriously I have. I joined a gym and have had the opportunity to have a personal trainer work with me the past week or so. In the past 9 days I have worked out 6 days. Today was the hardest yet. My body seems to be mocking me and my attempt to get healthy. Hmmph! The cartoon below sort of sums up my feelings these days.
I keep waiting for that burst of energy and the endorphin high that accompanies working out. Yep, neither have shown up--yet. However, I am not giving up. I know if I keep at it and exercise 5 days a week consistently, I will feel and look better. I just have to hang in there...
Is this really OK with your doctor? I do not mean to discourage you in any way but with your iron so low I have no idea how you are pulling yourself out of bed much less making it to the gym???
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah. The doctor was rather unhappy about my exercise agenda. LOL She told me to walk leisurely if I felt like it. Nothing like being scolded by your doctor for trying to exercise. Ha!
ReplyDeleteWell at least you can skip the "not working out" guilt for a while! Doctor knows best! Really though, don't push it. Treat your body like you would if you were having a high risk pregnancy. This time YOU are the baby! Don't hurt the baby!
