Body pains
I feel like my body is failing me lately. It's always hurting somewhere; always sore and uncomfortable. I think perhaps it's time for a little cleansing. Stop eating cinnamon rolls, ice cream, etc. I'm not eating them a lot, but at least something along those lines twice a week. Okay, sometimes three times. There's this intense desire in me to be in better shape, to not feel so winded. Man, I just got a black belt in karate and you'd think I'd be in better shape. I hate to run...but there are many, many other avenues of cardiovascular adventure out there. Now my schedule has openings for such adventures and I will take advantage of them. I began a weight routine two weeks ago and haven't had the time to do so since. It's nothing fancy and takes about half an hour, so you'd think I'd be able to squish it in somewhere. Karate is not all I can do for fitness, although today we did some kickboxing and it almost kicked my ass. Ugh. I don't care for chronic pain. My body feels like it did before I got a breast reduction - like it's carrying around too much weight. But, it's not really and I'm not sure why there is this pain. I'm thinking perhaps the Lexapro masked a lot of it because the pain came back when I was completely weaned off of it. Hmm....The anxiety has been so so and I often feel short of breath. But the shortness of breath could be due to trigger points in my rhomboids (which are located between your shoulder blades). When my massage therapist was working there last Friday it triggered the shortness of breath. So, I'll work on the diet, cut out some meat, maybe quit red meat altogether. Leave in chicken, turkey and eats lots of veggies and grains and fruit. Yup, I can say/write that but putting it into action takes just a bit of effort.
