Jaybee Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I've missed noticing this thread the last couple of days. I've done my 5K of rowing and stretching M, T, and W. Today I was the fastest I've been so far, definitely sweating and getting my heart rate up. (I am not worrying much about speed though--my main concern is actually doing it.) A few days ago, I told dh that it's weird, but I haven't been feeling that increased energy you usually do after starting to work out again. I have been more wiped out. He blamed the fact that it's been awhile since I have exercised regularly. But I started thinking about the timing of my shingles and the fatigue with that, looked it up, and I think it is just a residual effect of that. This is week six after I got it. I'm feeling less overall exhaustion this week, and a little boost to my energy now, so hopefully I will soon feel more increased results. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleowl Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Could definitely be the result of the shingles, @Jaybee! I hope you do have more energy soon. I remember to start the threads, but not always to come back and post. But today I did 3.4 miles even though it's getting hot out and there are flowers with a personal vendetta against me (allergies). So I'm congratulating myself...and planning on some benadryl! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Took the kids on a walk at a nature preserve, probably walked a mile or so. Then did a 30 minute DDPY workout, followed by extra stretches advised by PT. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbgrace Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I did a boosted Walk at Home for cardio followed by arm and back strengthening. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Florida Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Not a banner day for me. I walked a little less than 4K this morning, then did a good set of leg/arm exercises. However, I then spent most of the morning at the eye doctor, ate junk all afternoon, met up with my son and his girlfriend at our new house to talk about some projects I'm hoping he can do for me, took them to dinner (where I ate more junk) and then dragged myself home feeling far too tired to do a second walk. I want to conclude with something positive about how tomorrow is another day with no mistakes in it yet, but knowing what the next few weeks look like while we try to prep for and get through the move, I can't quite scrape up the energy to be optimistic.

Junie Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 ((( @Jenny in Florida ))) Don't beat yourself over yesterday. You said it wasn't a banner day, but reading what you did, I think you're being too hard on yourself. Not every day is going to be perfect. You walked. You did leg/arm exercises. You went to the eye doctor. You spent quality time with your son and his girlfriend and bought them dinner. I would consider that a good day, even if it wasn't perfect. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
