Not so sure what came over me to actually get out of bed and start my day but somehow, I DID.!
Now let me remind you, I did not eat before I left the house, oh no. I only had one sip of orange juice and two gulps of water and off I went.
7:43am- I walked to my car with dog in hand the only thing I was thinking to myself was " Oh Lord, don't let me fall asleep at the wheel, I have to make it to BJ's appointment ontime". LOL.!
Thankfully I made it safe and nearly fell into a daze of pure unconsciousness for a second or two as my girl was getting checked.
8:07am- After spending 60$+ on a office call and two medicines, I was then somewhat awake by this time, I got in my car yet again for the ride home and to finally get to lay back down to sleep. Or so I thought.
8:15am- Now safe and sound at home I decided "Eh, might as well check my e-mails and websites before I lay down to sleep till noon". Ah yes, the wonderful ways of putting sleep huh.?
So by this time I am more awake then ever somehow. Then out of no where I say "I think I am going to go for a jog, might end badly, but hey let's do it.!".
Now before I go any further let me just say I had a few drinks of water before this jog, so I wasn't completely dehydrated. As I started this jog I was feeling good, breathing great and at a steady pace. But out of no where, BAM.!, I got hit with the craziest pressure and weight I have experienced for the longest time.
By this point I started to walk. Oh let me add that I only made it a block and a HALF by slowly jogging when this hit. LOL.
The moral of this post is that if you do not keep up with your bodies fitness you will slowly become out of shape. It doesn't matter if you are stick skinny or slightly overweight, you body adapts to your lifestyle of sitting and not exercising.
I use to run everyday, do yoga and palates. Now at the age of 18, I go none of these. I sit and do nothing sadly LOL. So today is the start of my summer workout.
At least twice a week I am going to start jogging at least for 10 minutes or so to help speed up my endurance and all of that good stuff. I honestly never realized how poor of shape my body was in until this spur of the moment jog.
Now giving myself the benefit of the doubt, I was only running on two hours of sleep, empty stomach and did not stretch or drink enough water. But still come on.! LOL. No but in all seriousness, that is the wrong way to go about exercise. To starve yourself or to not give your body the correct nutrition as well can cause you to become tired and sluggish.
I'm no Dr. Phil or health expert, but I know the proper ways to go about exercise and how to keep your body in shape and to help boost your mind and health at the same time.
So, there ya go. My little two hour of sleep adventure done wrong LOL. Hopefully by the next time I decide to jog, walk or whatever else I can come up with I will be able to make sure my body has the proper care FIRST above all.
So I want to know what YOUR exercise plan is. If you don't have one, what would you like it to be.? How do you take care of your body.? Does the food and drinks your consume effect your exercise plan or health, and what have/could you do to help get your life on track to take care of your body and mind.?
Let me know in the comments.!!!
