Today has been rough....
On the bright side I am on PTO today and tomorrow from work, so I get to spend time with my girls. But my allergies, or hopefully not a cold coming on, are kicking into high gear. I didn't sleep good because I couldn't breathe well, and I have sneezed all day long constantly. If anyone has any suggestions for helping combat these things, I am eager to hear! I detest being sick!
I have felt so tired all day, dragging around. I really wanted to lay on the couch and be lazy. Madison had a half day at school and Ellie was running around with her limitless supply of energy, as one year olds seem to have. And I decided, why am I laying here being a bum, when I can get outside and enjoy the weather with my girls. It is not often I have weekdays off with them. So we went!
We went to the local greenway and walked over a mile. It was hard, I am not going to lie! I had to stop multiple times and take a break. I felt so overheated (because you know how Tennessee weather is, 50's earlier this week, hot and humid today) I felt tired, I felt like there was no way I could keep going. My legs hurt, I am so out of shape, you name it, all those negative feelings and thoughts kept going through my head. But when it was over, after I pushed myself to move, it was such a feeling of accomplishment! My girls saw me push through even when it was hard. And that is something I am teaching them, that things don't come easy.
I know I have a LONG journey ahead of me. I know there will be days when it is hard, so hard that I want to give up. But the rewards will be so worth it!
What are your favorite activities/exercises to do?
