I feel terrible today (Thurs. March 11)! Absolutely terrible. I have a headache, I feel a little jittery, I am extremely tired despite an extra long night’s sleep (because it was a poor one), and I am having trouble focusing on important things like work...
Yesterday (Wed. March 10) I had my pole dance class, and it goes in 8 week sessions at each level. The levels go from 1-6 initially, and I made it to about halfway through Level 4 last year before getting a hip injury and having to quit for a while. At the time I was still struggling with some of the moves being beyond my shoulder strength level, and I was also working on trying to get into better shape but was a long way from there. Well, now after a winter of snow, illnesses, snow, illnesses, more snow, and more illnesses, I’m pretty frightfully out of shape. Last night was the first night back at Level 2, and my instructor went apeshit with an uber-intense cardio pace! I love it, but during the class it was a miracle I didn’t throw up, and almost immediately afterward I could feel the lactic acid building- which is to the point of me moving slowly and feeling almost ill from it today. I crashed out at 9:00, which is exceptionally early for me, and I slept really poorly…
Additional contributing factors to how poorly I feel today are allergies, and my cycle. I let my allergy shots get behind over the winter to the point that they expired and I have to start over now, and even though it’s only been less than a week of spring-like weather, I am already a fountain of post nasal drip. To top it off, I am in the latter half of my monthly cycle, which in recent years has caused me to be progressively more tired and lower energy
However, on the bright side, I’ve still been doing well the last couple days with calorie intake. Not going to pat myself on the back yet until like a month or so has gone by, but I’m pleased with myself.
