"I get knocked down, but I get up again"

Ughhhh.

Carrot sticks are on my work desk today instead of chocolates and chips. I don’t mind the crunchy carrots but they aren’t really fun to eat. Still, I’m trying and that’s what counts.

Yesterday I walked the 15-20 minutes from a train stop before the one I usually get off at. Every part of my body hurt, breathing was hard and there was pain and an unpleasant tightness around my knees that I’m not used to.

Today I’ve had my breakfast and lunch shakes, some carrot sticks and a handful of salted peanuts. Tonight I’ll have another shake for dinner and try to get an early night.

This afternoon on my lunch break, I walked around the rose garden. 7 and 1/2 laps today. Every step hurt.

When I got to the rose garden, there was an older guy there, already doing a lap by the look of it. He was slowly raising and lowering his arms like a bird trying to take flight in slow motion.

Nutter I thought.

But then I proceeded to follow him around and around so I guess I looked just as crazy, if not worse. He at least was in the lead and was making his own path…I was the weirdo 12 steps behind…huffing and puffing like an overweight walrus.

Sooo…that was my day so far.

I’ll update you again soon, you lucky thing. Lol.
