I woke up feeling sore as hell, which I slightly anticipated because of all the new lifting, carrying and bending I did yesterday at work. I realized within just a few hours how weak I was from deconditioning, which is insane considering I'm way stronger than I was a year or ago. I know my body will adjust but I really can't wait to get into physical therapy too.
Aside from the new "manual labor" that comes with caring for an infant 6 hours a day I finally started my menstrual cycle. So, I'm sure that's half the reason I'm extra sore, tired, and hypermobile.
I'm a little annoyed/bummed because this is my day off until the weekend and I feel like I neither rested adequately, nor did I get enough done. Because there's never any winning.
It's only 4:45 pm though and I'm recounting the day and I DID do a pretty good job of both. I accidentally slept in, I took a nap, I made sure to keep my BP up and HR down (as I did yesterday.) I've also been remembering the afternoon dose of propranolol so β β β on the rest. I also have a roast for dinner that will also be lunch and at least 2 other meals. I plowed through a ton of kitchen cleaning, even though it's not done (is it ever?) and I have did some maintenance laundry, maintenance vacuuming, and work in the garden. So honestly, I did a lot.
There's no reason to feel bad, but I do.
