Ouch!

Not being a very patient person, I thought I would test my limits. I woke early and since I had taken the entire week off of work I planned to take full advantage. I went to the gym first thing in the morning and did the hour of walking thing. That was great.

Then, I came home, cleaned up like a crazy woman, ran errands, and went to dinner. I felt like I had hit a MAJOR wall. I think my body was playing tricks on me because early on while walking I felt fantastic.

As the day went on I began to feel weak. My selective listening skills set in and I continued to ignore the signs my body was giving me. I began to feel a bit "Dazed and Confused," if you will. I needed to slow down... Hello, RELAX!

I stopped taking my medications on Sunday, but now I'm in a lot of pain. I did not resort to the meds, but I have decided to listen from now on. Long story short, listen to your body — it always lets us know when it has had enough. When it seems like I am back to normal, then I am suddenly reminded by the discomfort of opening that car door or sitting up too fast that I'm not alright. Just remember to relax — time heals all wounds! =)
