Yep. Look at me.
On a roll with this posting thing!
Anyway, I will be resuming my fitness quest…
But, wait.
Do you see what I did right there? I was extremely declarative.
BUUUUT–
You will all come to find out that when it comes to fitness–I am very much a stuttering Nelly. To be honest, it is not something I ever really had to worry about in the past, but with the shutdowns of 2020 and the general aging that has been going on, I find that I can’t maintain myself the same way I had been used to doing in the past. This has made it difficult to pursue or set aside specifically a time for “working out” or exercising. I find it boring and repetitive. I feel like after all the work I don’t have anything tangible at the end of it. Alas, in spite of that, I now (in the interest of my health) have to start incorporating it.
There were some issues as far as doctors wanting to switch up my meds that results in some nasty nasty side-effects. I was only on it for maybe three weeks (barely got that far) and was most definitely past the first phase of the step-up and it took me a full SIX months to get somewhat back to normal. My hair is growing back out (I lost about 50% hair density), the med weight is mostly gone, I still deal with some tinnitus.
The worst thing for my mental well-being, however, was that I completely lost my muscle-tone. As in I am soft and smushy right now and I don’t like it. It’s not even that my weight has changed, because it hasn’t. My body shape and the way my clothes (don’t) fit are completely different. Anyway, this post is to sort of bookmark that aspect. I guess branching off of that I’ll (at some point) get into my particular medical issues. It can all go under Health and Wellness. So for today, that’s the start of another category.
Hope the morning has been good to all of you.
