Feeling Good
I turned a corner this weekend. A really big corner for me. I haven't felt my normal run-down of absolute exhaustion that I get by mid-afternoon. It seems to be gone. I just can't believe it. It was like waking up and feeling like a new person. My arm pain hasn't bothered for for a few days, I am not feeling as tired, I feel good! I didn't get a workout in this past week, and maybe that's why I am not quite so exhausted this weekend. Since I started working out again 3 weeks ago, the first 2 weeks went well. I worked out at a very low-impact level and got 3 workouts in each week. This past week I was just so busy and the nerve pain in my arm was bothering me, so I didn't get a workout in. I think giving my body that break this past week, from having just started the workouts again, was needed. I got my energy back. This is the first weekend in 7 months that I have been able to stay up later and not feel completely wiped out. I still plan to go to bed early tonight so that I don't have a relapse of exhaustion tomorrow. But what a great feeling this is! I am excited to get a few workouts in this week and see how I feel. I have been on a high all weekend because of feeling good. It also helped that Josh and Amy were here with their new ADORABLE baby girl, that kept my energy level high too. What a great weekend! Here's to a good upcoming week.
