My goal is 5/7 days (71.4%) and I did meet this goal, even though it felt like I was taking a lot of days off. Despite my job situation being somewhat more clear, I am still relatively stressed out about my professional life and I'm finding that adhering to a strict schedule of physical activity is really helping me maintain sanity.

Fantastic work! That's so great!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're so stressed about your professional life. I was wondering how things were going on that front.
Thanks! I do my best to stay active.
DeleteNice job! I'm glad exercise is helping to reduce your stress. Honestly that's the main reason I do it- if I don't work out I feel like complete crap, mentally.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting how much it correlates to stress reduction. I'm glad I exercise, even if it means I am sore most days!
DeleteGreat job! Consistency is everything and even if you take a few days off here and there, you seem to have a great routine!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I know my sporadic workouts wouldn't work for everyone, but it keeps me going.
DeleteAmazing consistency! Smart to take the weekend off after your booster. I felt so bad, my boys got their updated boosters last week, and my oldest then had to work a full shift at mickey d's the next day. He messaged me half way through saying his whole body ached, his arm was killing him and he had a headache. I ended up running some ibuprofen over to him. He insisted that he didn't want to leave his shift though he said. He said the ibuprofen helped and he made it through and felt better by that evening. I just felt so bad about scheduling it like that, but honestly, between sports and work and stuff, it seems there is never really a great time to have a sore arm/ feel crummy for them....
ReplyDeleteYes, I purposefully went on a Friday afternoon, knowing that I have had bad reactions to all of my covid vaccines and I could take it easy over the weekend if I wanted to. I really feel for people who can't just lay around all day and nap like I did after their shots.
DeleteI need to get my Covid booster but I'm always so worried about feeling crummy afterward. I'm 2/3 of feeling okay after a Covid shot, though, so maybe I'll be okay! (And I know that is NO EXCUSE for not getting my booster, lol. But I just became eligible after having Covid at the end of June.)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the workouts, though! 70%+ is GREAT consistency!
I have felt pretty bad after each COVID shot, so I purposefully got it on a Friday. It's nice to have natural COVID antibodies, though. I wish we could have put off our boosters until closer to the holidays, but it it is what it is. But I didn't have a temp or anything with this booster - just a sore arm and lethargy.
DeleteAs always, your consistency and dedication are awesome. Smart not to work out after the booster - I have been remarkably unaffected by all of the vaccines + boosters, including the most recent. I have also (to my knowledge) never tested positive for, nor had COVID, despite being with my dad in a small condo, and hugging him the very morning he tested whoppingly positive. *shrug* I'll take it!
