The road to recovery can be very bumpy. This morning I was feeling very good. So I packed my car with shopping bags. My first stop was Walmart where I picked up some Rit dye remover to try to fix one of my husband’s shirt that got some bleed over dye in the wash. Yes, I had a fully saturated color catcher in the wash. It is the first time in over a decade that the dye catcher did not pick up all the stray dye in the wash.
Then it was off to Whole Foods to get some fresh fruit and goat milk yogurt. I got a treat for lunch too. My husband graciously carried in the heavy bags and put the groceries away. Then we had lunch. I had planned to do paperwork and spin after lunch. Instead I spent the next 3 hours resting. The morning activity had worn me out.
I still do not have the stamina I had before I got sick in mid February. Just walking around two stores and the house I managed to get 100 minutes in the Zone of moderate to vigorous exercise. I have really got to figure out how to get back into shape so it is actually exercise instead of just walking that causes an exercise heart rate.
I am getting very tired of not being able to do much. I am not a happy person right now. My mind feels that I should be able to do more. My body says no.
