Post work out (if you can call it that) blogging again. I have had a pretty good day today all round. Apart from being tremendously tired. Like walking zombie type tired. I could not sleep last night for anything. I went about 1am and I saw half two roll round at the last glance. Not good when I wanted to get up fifteen minutes earlier to try and get some breakfast fitted in.
As it was I did manage to get the breakfast thing done in record time. I had some porridge which I had to make with water for the first time ever. My doctor advised going dairy free with the IBS thing so I have been trying that. The last time I had porridge I made it with soy milk which tasted absolutely fine. But I was out of fake cow juice so I had to go with council pop. It was pretty grim at first but I adjusted quite quickly. It just made it almost a tad more gluey if that makes sense, and it tasted of nothing until I added a bit of sugar. Not much, just over a teaspoon full.
Dinner was a tomato and basil soup thing mum got me which probably had the world's supply of salt in it but it was only 200 calories for a big old bowl of it so I didn't mind as a one off. I had a small crusty bun with it, some grapes and a clementine...and then I fell off the wagon slightly and had a couple of biscuits with my green tea. But I figured I would work them off today. I've just done my 40 minutes on the bike and 30 arm reps and tonight is my turn to walk the hound(s). Incidentally, my shoulders are killing me. I didn't think that little rubberised rowing thing would actually do anything but just 30 reps yesterday and my shoulders and neck are quite sore. I didn't make the connection until I did this mornings reps when I was like..ow. Clearly I need to warm up a bit in the arms even to do something which seemed so trivial.
I have a lot of problems with my shoulders and neck. Nothing I've been to the doctor about but they can be quite painful on occasion. Mostly my left shoulder and the back of my neck. My shoulder I did get investigated years ago actually thinking about it, (which ended up in me getting referred for heart tests and the like which all came back ok) but I've put it down to arthritis. Unfortunately my family is riddled with it so it's a case of when not if. My neck I don't know. I think it's down to stress and anxiety. I know I sound like a health wreck but this year, as I think I've said, was pretty stressy for me. I got to a point where I convinced myself I was having a heart attack for two days until I went to see a doctor who said it was a panic attack. Anxiety related. Reading up on that it all seemed to fit. Like for example, me half waking up in the middle of the night to find my entire body vibrating (one of those things you're never sure is real because it happened when you were half unconscious). Apparently that's your body attempting to get rid of nervous energy.
Anyway, that's another blog post entirely and I'll probably get to that at some point. Needless to say though, I'm going to focus on warming my shoulders and arms up prior to doing any sort of exercise with them again. Definitely means the thing is working though which is good to know!
Right now I can smell garlic roasting. Mum's cooking a goulash for tea. I'm going to halve the portion of rice she normally gives us I think. Try to get the calories down a bit. My snack with probably be jelly again and the leftover pineapple from the tin I had yesterday. Might chuck in some of the fresh fruit too if I'm really peckish later on but my bedtime is earlier tonight on account of my 7am start tomorrow (in theory..).
For this evening though, good boo.
