Subject: RE: Declutter & Exercise - Build on Success -July 2011
Hit the wall ydy. A daytime activity I tried to soften for muscle recovery ended up as doing too much when I added a heavy-lifting chore to it, and in unaccustomed heat. I made it thru the Sat. svc painfully, thru a steak-replenishing-protein dinner, and up to bed, where I fell out hard and almost immediately. I woke 4 hours later with crystal clarity in cool, dry air with the thought, "Oh! I was tired, and this was the nap I missed at 4PM!" My muscles had not ached after the PT-- the PT-ist will not allow me to work them that hard yet-- but she is tiring them out and they get to rest!!!" The heavy lifting on the tired muscles-- nononono. (She said I could do NORMAL activities, not backflips!) When that lift felt too hard, I should have set it down, not walked around with it! :~)
