Today, I woke up out of sorts. My back hurt a little from lying in bed too long. I had no energy. I didn't want to do anything. If I still had the equipment, I would have suspected PMS. Instead, I realized that I was adjusting to fewer calories. Although it sucks going through this, it's good to recognize it for what it is.
So, I decided to spread the joy. I went to Ken's earlier than we had planned. I took my own lunch, my healthier lunch, and ate with him and played a game of Scrabble and beat him. Then we went to Spencer, did some shopping and went to my folks'. While shopping, we stopped by the local art gallery, Art on Grand. Serendipitously, the Little Sioux Spinners and Weavers Guild was working away on their individual projects. I have always wanted to learn how to spin wool. Actually, I've always wanted to take my projects from sheep to sweater, and now I can get one step closer to my goal.
After all our running around, we went back to Ken's. He grilled us some hamburgers on the grill and I beat him at another game of Scrabble. When I got home, I ran around and took care of all kinds of chores. My energy was restored. Hopefully, I won't have the blues again tomorrow, but I know what fixes it, activity. I can't let myself sink into doldrums.
This is rather ironic....my blog tonight is going to be on a very similar topic and w/ the same cure......activity.
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope you don't have the same results that I have had. I'm going to try to go in and see my doctor today. That pec muscle has not improved and it hurts like hell. So, please, don't overdo the activity.
